Crashworthiness Multi-Material Topology Optimization for Minimum Mass
… Industry standard lightweighting tools such as topology optimization (TO) and emerging techniques like multi-material topology optimization (MMTO) are effective for designing lightweight structures subjected to linear loading, but they cannot consider dynamic crash loading. Crashworthiness is …

Multi-Material Topology Optimization Incorporating Practical Considerations in Response, Material Type Selection and Dissimilar Materials Joint
Topology Optimization (TO) is a well-established method for achieving lightweight designs. Historically, TO has evolved from considering a single candidate material to incorporating multiple candidate materials, thereby increasing design flexibility. The objective of this thesis is to propose an …

Multi-Domain Multi-Material Topology Optimization of a Roller Coaster Vehicle Bogie Subject to Multiaxial Fatigue Constraints
… assemblies (bogies), specifically focusing on multiaxial fatigue topology optimization. Roller coaster bogies endure complex multiaxial loading conditions and require specialized fatigue constrained optimization due to their intricate loading, operating conditions, and repetitive load time …

Multi-Material Continuum Topology Optimization for Embodied Carbon Objectives
… design of buildings and infrastructure, topology optimization is an emerging technology, often seeking to make structures more materially efficient. It therefore offers a means to reduce the structural weight, and as such, minimize the global warming potential (GWP). This research …
