High performance machines rely on fast moving parts and generally avoid resonance for improved accuracy. To improve the dynamic properties of these high performance machines, their parts are optimized via a lengthy iterative process. Topology optimization for vibrations problems could shorten this time consuming design process and provide a more...

Over time physical intersections such as mobility hubs have grown to places with high densities of users. The same accounts for digital intersections such as social media platforms which also have grown to places with high amounts of users. Both make use of density as a focal point for public activity. Physical mobility hubs for example offer...
