Additive manufacturing (AM) processes have proven to be a perfect match for topology
optimization (TO), as they are able to realize sophisticated geometries in a unique layer-by …

In this review we identify a new category of methods for implementing and solving structural
optimization problems that has emerged over the last 20 years, which we propose to call …

Explicit topology optimization methods have received ever-increasing interest in recent
years. In particular, a 188-line Matlab code of the two-dimensional (2D) Moving Morphable …

Solving topology optimization problem is very computationally demanding especially when
high-resolution results are sought for. In the present work, a problem-independent machine …

Engineering designs involving multiple materials suffer either difficult interface modeling or
finding physically meaningful transition domains with a clear or even optimal structural …

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 …

Structural analysis for structures composed of highly heterogeneous materials which often
involves the solution of large-scale linear algebraic equations is very time-consuming even …

Hollow structures are widely used in industry because of the high stiffness-to-mass ratio and
mature joining technology. However, in topology optimization (TO), the TO results are almost …

Topology optimization (TO), a numerical technique to find the optimal material layout with a
given design domain, has attracted interest from researchers in the field of structural …

The coated structures are widely applied in engineering, whose coating material covers the
surface to protect substrate structure or realize certain functionalities. Currently, the coated …
