Abstract: Capturing knowledge without an extra burden on engineers is one of the most challenging issues in the engineering domain. This study proposes a framework of real-time knowledge capture and systematic formalization for the ...

Abstract: In this study, we propose a hierarchical optimizationbased approach for twodimensional rectangular layout design problems. Decompositionbased optimization has been a key approach for complicated design problems in ...

Abstract: The maximum stress minimization problem is among the most important topics for structural design. The conventional gradient-based topology optimization methods require transforming the original problem into a pseudo-problem ...

Abstract: Topology optimization is one of the most flexible structural optimization methodologies. However, in exchange for its high level of design freedom, typical topology optimization cannot avoid multimodality, where multiple ...
