RISDesigning Microstructural Architectures With Thermally Actuated Properties Using Freedom, Actuation, and Constraint Topologies
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: In this paper, we demonstrate how the principles of the freedom, actuation, and constraint topologies (FACT) approach may be applied to the synthesis, analysis, and optimization of microstructural architectures that possess ...
Polytope Sector Based Synthesis and Analysis of Microstructural Architectures With Tunable Thermal Conductivity and Expansion
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The aim of this paper is to (1) introduce an approach, called polytope sectorbased synthesis (PSS), for synthesizing 2D or 3D microstructural architectures that exhibit a desired bulkproperty directionality (e.g., isotropic, ...
Design of Nonperiodic Microarchitectured Materials That Achieve Graded Thermal Expansions
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The aim of this paper is to introduce an approach for optimally organizing a variety of nonrepeating compliantmechanismlike unit cells within a large deformable lattice such that the bulk behavior of the lattice exhibits ...
