Isogeometric analysis (IGA), an approach that integrates CAE into conventional CAD design
tools, has been used in structural optimization for 10 years, with plenty of excellent research …

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 …

A bio-inspired concept of non-uniform curved grid-stiffened composite structures with
embedded stiffeners (embedded NCGCs) is proposed in the paper. Shallow curved …

An important feature that drives the auxetic behaviour of the star-shaped auxetic structures is
the hinge-functional connection at the vertex connections. This feature poses a great …

结构等几何分析是计算固体力学领域一种新兴的数值方法, 致力于将CAD (计算机辅助设计)
和CAE (计算机辅助工程) 纳入到统一的数学表达框架. 等几何分析紧密联系几何信息 …

This paper presents a multiple variable cutting (M-VCUT) level set method for the topology
optimization of cellular structures. This method first divides the reference design domain into …

This work explores the use of solid-shell elements in the the framework of isogeometric
shape optimization of shells. The main difference of these elements with respect to pure …

Focusing on planar isotropic petal-shaped auxetics, an isogeometric design framework is
presented to achieve tunable effective properties. Specifically, the design framework …

Isogeometric shape optimization has been receiving great attention due to its advantages of
exact geometry representation and smooth representation of the boundaries. In the present …

In this work, we exploit a sequential topology and shape optimization framework to design
compliant mechanisms. We pay particular attention to a refined and exact design of flexure …
