The current communication is a state-of-the-art review of the recently developed
Isogeometric analysis and its various applications such as structural, thermal, fluid–structure …

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 …

" The art of structure is where to put the holes" Robert Le Ricolais, 1894-1977 This is a
completely revised, updated and expanded version of the book titled" Optimization of …

Optimal shape design of structural elements based on boundary variations results in final
designs that are topologically equivalent to the initial choice of design, and general, stable …

Shape optimization in a general setting requires the determination of the optimal spatial
material distribution for given loads and boundary conditions. Every point in space is thus a …

Compliant mechanisms exploit bending of flexible members to achieve their motion.
Advantages of compliant mechanisms include high precision motion, low weight, low friction …

This book is motivated largely by a desire to solve shape optimization problems that arise in
applications, particularly in structural mechanics and in the optimal control of distributed …

The bible of stress concentration factors—updated to reflect today's advances in stress
analysis This book establishes and maintains a system of data classification for all the …

The emergence of low-cost 3D printers steers the investigation of new geometric problems
that control the quality of the fabricated object. In this paper, we present a method to reduce …

This work is an attempt to provide a unified presentation of methods for the optimal design of
topology, shape and material for continuum and discrete structures. The emphasis is on …
