Zhai, X. (author), Wang, Weiming (author), Chen, Falai (author), Wu, J. (author)Recent years have seen a growing interest in topology optimization of functionally graded microstructures, characterized by an array of microstructures with varying volume fractions. However, microstructures optimized at slightly different volume fractions do not necessarily connect well when placed adjacently. Furthermore, optimization is...journal article 2024

(author), Chen, Shikui (author), Kang, Zhan (author), Suresh, Krishnan (author), Takezawa, Akihiro (author), Li, Lei (author), Kato, Junji (author), Tang, Jinyuan (author), Wang, C.C. (author), Cheng, Lin (author), Liang, Xuan (author), To, Albert. C. (author)Manufacturing-oriented topology optimization has been extensively studied the past two decades, in particular for the conventional manufacturing methods, for example, machining and injection molding or casting. Both design and manufacturing engineers have benefited from these efforts because of the close-to-optimal and friendly-to-manufacture...journal article 2018
