Development of efficient topology optimization methods for thermoelastic structures made of additively manufactured anisotropic materials Ghent University
Recent progress in additive manufacturing (AM) of advanced materials, e.g. metallic alloys and fiber-reinforced composites (FRCs), has transformed the way in which engineering applications are fabricated. AM enables the fabrication of unprecedentedly complex geometry structures with spatially continuously changing material properties to optimally fulfill a particular function in a short build cycle. This proposal is to devise an efficient ...
