Topology optimization (TO) is a method of deriving an optimal design that satisfies a given
load and boundary conditions within a design domain. This method enables effective design …

The micron resolutions that 3D printers are reaching allow for a change of paradigm in the
design of components, optimizing not only the topology of the component, but also the …

How to realize the switching between various topology optimization approaches such as
SIMP and moving morphable component (MMC) method, is a crucial challenge in the field of …

Conventional mechanical design paradigms rely on experts systematically refining concepts
through experience-guided modification and FEA to meet specific requirements. However …

A partitioned/combined computational method based on Newmark scheme is proposed to
analyze dynamic systems with different temporal scales and element scales. To effectively …

Combined numerical modelling and topology optimisation methods are useful in the design
and analysis of engineering structures. The two tools are used to predict and optimise the …

In recent years, it has been demonstrated that the lightweight potential of load-carrying
structural components could be further enhanced using additive manufacturing technology …

Remanufacturing is a well-established end-of-life (EOL) strategy that promises significant
