A number of strategies that enable lattice structures to be derived from Topology
Optimisation (TO) results suitable for Additive Manufacturing (AM) are presented. The …

Topology optimization is a technique that allows for increasingly efficient designs with
minimal a priori decisions. Because of the complexity and intricacy of the solutions obtained …

Although additive manufacturing (AM) has been maturing for some years, it has only recently
started to capture the interest of the cost-sensitive construction industry. The research …

The application of conic programming to some traditionally difficult plasticity problems is
considered. Convenient standard forms for conic programming of both limit and incremental …

This article is a state-of-art review on static structural computations for pin-jointed structures,
revising the last forty years of scientific research on the subject matter through the …

A new and potentially widely applicable numerical analysis procedure for continuum
mechanics problems is described. The procedure is used here to determine the critical …

The present work describes in detail an implementation of the ground structure method for
non–orthogonal unstructured and concave domains written in MATLAB, called GRAND …

Since its introduction, the ground structure method has been used in the derivation of closed–
form analytical solutions for optimal structures, as well as providing information on the …

Lattice structures are widely being employed in various lightweighting and multifunctional
applications. With the developments in Additive Manufacturing (AM), lattice structures can …
