Concurrent multiscale structural optimization is concerned with the improvement of
macroscale structural performance through the design of microscale architectures. The …

This work presents a numerical discretization technique for solving 3‐dimensional material
interface problems involving complex geometry without conforming mesh generation. The …

A new enriched finite element technique, named the Discontinuity-Enriched Finite Element
Method (DE-FEM), was introduced recently for solving problems with both weak and strong …

This manuscript presents a shape sensitivity analysis method based on an Interface-
enriched Generalized Finite Element Method (IGFEM) formulation and its application to the …

Construction of bioinspired vasculature in synthetic materials enables multi-functional
performance via mass transport through internal fluidic networks. However, exact …

We propose a novel generic shape optimization method for CAD models based on the
eXtended Finite Element Method (XFEM). Our method works directly on the intersection …

Although geometry arising" in the wild" most often comes in the form of a surface
representation, a plethora of geometrical and physical applications require the construction …

Nature-inspired microvascular composites rely on microchannel networks to enable a
variety of multifunctionality including self-healing and active cooling. However, the small size …

We introduce a new method for direct physics-based animation of volumetric curved models,
represented using NURBS surfaces. Our technical contribution is the Shape Matching …

We present a computational framework for Hybrid Topology/Shape (HyTopS) optimization of
actively-cooled microvascular composites under uncertainty. We developed a novel HyTopS …
