Abstract: This paper presents a method for synthesizing multicomponent beam structural assemblies with maximum structural performance and manufacturability. The problem is posed as a relaxation of ...

Abstract: This paper presents a method that systematically decomposes product geometry into a set of components considering the structural stiffness of the end product. A structure is represented as a ...

Abstract: This paper presents a method for identifying the optimal designs of components and joints in the space frame body structures of passenger vehicles considering structural characteristics, ...

Abstract: This paper presents an extension of our previous work on decomposition-based assembly synthesis for structural stiffness, where the three-dimensional finite element model of a vehicle body-in-white ...

Abstract: A method for optimally synthesizing multicomponent structural assemblies of an aluminum space frame (ASF) vehicle body is presented, which simultaneously considers structural stiffness, manufacturing ...
