Abstract: This study presents a novel framework for the optimal design of compliant mechanisms, specifically addressing the structural drawbacks of conventional single-point or de facto hinges. The hinges often lead to structural ...

Abstract: The creep phenomenon has enormous effect on the stress and displacement distribution in the structures. Redistribution of the stress field is one of these effects which is called stress relaxation. The importance of stress ...

Abstract: The present research develops a new shadow filter and presents its usage for structural topology optimization (TO) considering the molding manufacturability. It is important to consider manufacturing methods in designing ...

Abstract: Abstract. Topology optimization enables lightweight, high-stiffness designs, but practical deployment is limited by repeated finite element method (FEM) cost and sensitivity to numerical regularization, such as ...
