Efficient and Robust Topology Optimization of Compliant Mechanisms using Perturbed Geometrically Non-Linear Analysis: Paper Title: "Structural Topology Optimization using Bayesian-Enhanced Perturbed Non-Linear Analysis"

The recent success of - and demand for - compliant mechanisms has increased rapidly within the micro-electromechanical systems-, aircraft-, spacecraft-, surgical-, and precision-instrument industries. Yet, even greater success may be achieved by overcoming the computational cost and instability of the mechanisms' design methodology. This...
