The development of interface-capturing methods (such as level-set, phase-field or volume of
fluid (VOF) methods) for arbitrary 3D grids has further highlighted the need for more accurate …

This work considers an efficient approach for length scale control in high-resolution three-
dimensional level set–based topology optimization. A contrast parameter–based cut …

Liquid crystal elastomers (LCEs) are responsive materials that can undergo large reversible
deformations upon exposure to external stimuli, such as electrical and thermal fields …

This paper considers the design of structures made of engineered materials, accounting for
uncertainty in material properties. We present a topology optimization approach that …

Research on Soft Active Materials (SAMs) has flourished in recent years driven mainly by
potential applications to actuation systems, tissue engineering, and soft robotics. These …

This work focuses on the numerical investigation of the drop impact on a solid surface, with
especial emphasis on the influence of the contact angle on the dynamics of the contact line …
