The evolutionary structural optimization (ESO) method developed by Xie and Steven
(Comput Struct 49 (5): 885–896, 162), an important branch of topology optimization, has …

The pursuit for design improvements by geometry modifications can easily become
prohibitive using a trial and error process. This holds especially when dealing with multi …

In view of the general inertia and damping features as well as the inevitable uncertainty
factors in engineering structures, a novel dynamic reliability-based topology optimization …

This work proposes an improved method for gradient-based topology optimization in a
discrete setting of design variables. The method combines the features of BESO developed …

This paper presents a concurrent topology optimization methodology for minimizing the
frequency responses of multiscale systems composed of macro and micro phases. Although …

A few level-set topology optimization (LSTO) methods have been proposed to address
complex fluid-structure interaction. Most of them did not explore benchmark fluid pressure …

Porous structures are widely found in nature and have been extensively studied due to their
high stiffness-to-weight ratio, excellent sound absorption, and robustness regarding loading …

Topology optimization of dynamic acoustic–mechanical structures is challenging due to the
interaction between the acoustic and structural domains and artificial localized vibration …

The poroelastic material is often used as a sandwich core due to its lightweight and
excellent sound insulation and absorption, and the research revealed that poroelastic …

The demand for advanced manufacturing is gradually turning to the multi-functional
integrated structure, so the effective and innovative functional structure topology optimization …
