Manufacturing-oriented topology optimization has been extensively studied the past two
decades, in particular for the conventional manufacturing methods, for example, machining …

To understand the thermal insulation and failure problems of the thermal barrier coatings
(TBCs) deeply is vital to evaluate the reliability and durability of the TBCs. Actually …

The past few decades have seen substantial growth in Additive Manufacturing (AM)
technologies. However, this growth has mainly been process-driven. The evolution of …

This paper proposes a new Multi-Material Level Set (MM-LS) topology description model for
topology and shape optimization of structures involving multiple materials. Each phase is …

This paper concerns compliance minimization and projection of coated structures with
orthotropic infill material in 2D. The purpose of the work is two-fold. First, we introduce an …

With the fast development of additive manufacturing technology, topology optimization
involving multiple materials has received ever increasing attention. Traditionally, this kind of …

This paper presents a novel method for including coated structures and prescribed material
interface properties into the minimum compliance topology optimization problem. Several …

The rising cost of natural resources and environmental concerns motivate systematic design
and manufacture of more efficient structures. For that purpose, topology optimization has …

Topology optimization is one of the most effective tools for conducting lightweight design
and has been implemented across multiple industries to enhance product development. The …

The focus of this paper is on multi-material topology optimization (MMTO), where the
objective is to not only compute the optimal topology, but also the distribution of two or more …
