Multi-scale structures, as found in nature (eg, bone and bamboo), hold the promise of
achieving superior performance while being intrinsically lightweight, robust, and multi …

The question of how methods from the field of artificial intelligence can help improve the
conventional frameworks for topology optimisation has received increasing attention over …

Topology optimization has undergone a tremendous development since its introduction in
the seminal paper by Bendsøe and Kikuchi in 1988. By now, the concept is developing in …

This review paper provides an overview of different level-set methods for structural topology
optimization. Level-set methods can be categorized with respect to the level-set-function …

This article describes a method for the continuum-based topology optimization of structures
made of discrete elements. In particular, we examine the optimization of linearly elastic …

In this review we identify a new category of methods for implementing and solving structural
optimization problems that has emerged over the last 20 years, which we propose to call …

Non-uniform rational B-spline (NURBS) has been widely used as an effective shape
parameterization technique for structural optimization due to its compact and powerful shape …

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 effective parametric approach by extending the conventional level
set method to structural shape and topology optimization using the compactly supported …

Topology Optimisation is a broad concept deemed to encapsulate different processes for
computationally determining structural materials optimal layouts. Among such techniques …
