Abstract: During the past few years, metal-based additive manufacturing technologies have evolved and may enable the direct fabrication of heterogeneous objects with full spatial material variations. A heterogeneous object has ...

Abstract: Routing or path-planning is the problem of finding a collision-free and preferably shortest path in an environment usually scattered with polygonal or polyhedral obstacles. The geometric algorithms oftentimes tackle the ...

Abstract: While using a prosthesis, transtibial amputees can experience pain and discomfort brought on by large pressure gradients at the interface between the residual limb and the prosthetic socket. Current prosthetic interface ...

Abstract: Analytical target cascading (ATC), a hierarchical, multilevel, multidisciplinary coordination method, has proven to be an effective decomposition approach for largescale engineering optimization problems. In recent years, ...
