Structural and Multidisciplinary Optimization

A way to approximate the compliance of composites for optimisation is described. A two-level approximation scheme is proposed inspired by traditional approximation concepts such as force approximations and convex linearisation. In level one, an …

Uncertainty propagation analysis, which assesses the impact of the uncertainty of input variables on responses, is an important component in risk assessment or reliability analysis of structures. This paper proposes an uncertainty propagation …

The efficiency of optimization for the high dimensional problem has been improved by the metamodeling techniques in multidisciplinary in the past decades. In this study, comparative studies are implemented for high dimensional problems on the …

Satellite layout optimization design problems with complicated performance constraints are studied in this paper. In addition to the traditional geometric constraint, system centroid constraint, inertia angles constraint and dynamics performance …

This work aims at introducing stress responses within a topology optimization framework applied to the design of periodic microstructures. The emergence of novel additive manufacturing techniques fosters research towards new approaches to tailor …
