Evolutionary computation is emerging as a new engineering computational paradigm, which
may significantly change the present structural design practice. For this reason, an extensive …

Traditional engineering design optimisation which is the process of identifying the right
combination of product parameters is often done manually, time consuming and involves a …

Data-driven models are rising as an auspicious method for the geometrical design of
materials and structural systems. Nevertheless, existing data-driven models customarily …

Topology optimisation enables profound insight into the optimal material distribution for a
given structural objective, applied loading and boundary conditions. The topologically …

" The art of structure is where to put the holes" Robert Le Ricolais, 1894-1977 This is a
completely revised, updated and expanded version of the book titled" Optimization of …

We present the automated design and manufacture of static and locomotion objects in which
functionality is obtained purely by the unconstrained 3-D distribution of materials. Recent …

Making kirigami-inspired cuts into a sheet has been shown to be an effective way of
designing stretchable materials with metamorphic properties where the 2D shape can …

This paper presents an isogeometric shape optimization framework using genetic algorithm
to design 2D auxetic structures with prescribed Poisson's ratio over large tensile or …

Topology optimization (TO) is a common technique used in free-form designs. However,
conventional TO-based design approaches suffer from high computational cost due to the …

In this paper, a bit-array representation method for structural topology optimization using the
Genetic Algorithm (GA) is implemented. The importance of structural connectivity in a design …
