Abstract: Abstract. This article presents a topology optimization method for the simultaneous design of castable geometry, arbitrarily curved parting surfaces, and the inclusion of lateral side dies when necessary. An undercut-free ...

Abstract: This paper presents a continuumbased approach for multiobjective topology optimization of multicomponent structures. Objectives include minimization of compliance, weight, and cost of assembly and manufacturing. Design ...

Abstract: Topology optimization for additive manufacturing has been limited to the design of single-piece components that fit within the printer's build volume. This paper presents a gradient-based multicomponent topology optimization ...

Abstract: Abstract. Breakaway devices are mechanical “fuses” to protect critical components from damage caused by excessive loads. Current breakaway devices are designed by analytical or empirical approaches, resulting in complicated ...

Abstract: This paper presents the optimization of a solarpowered humidification–dehumidification (HDH) desalination system for remote areas where it is assumed that only minimal external electric power (for operating control systems ...
