Abstract: In this paper, an integrated mechanical–thermal predictive model of thermal contact conductance (TCC) between two nominally flat metallic rough surfaces is developed. Asperities on rough surface were approximated as ...

Abstract: The motivation of this paper is to develop a new and straightforward approach to provide a topology optimization solution for the layout design of stiffened plate/shell structures. Inspired by the similarities between the ...

Abstract: In this article, we focus on a generative design algorithm for area-to-point (AP) conduction problems in a Lagrangian framework. A physically meaningful continuous area to point path solution is generated through an adaptive ...
