“…It is achieved by maintaining a fair distribution of the load that the structure is subject to, by adding material around the most loaded areas as in trees and bones, and removing materials from the least loaded areas as in bones. This simple yet powerful design rule is referred to as "the axiom of uniform stress" [3], and was originally applied for the durable design of mechanical parts [9,10].…”

The constrained nature of Low power and Lossy Networks (LLNs) inevitably impacts fundamental networking tasks. The focus of our work is routing protocols, where the constraints of the network discourage the maintenance of large routing tables and the use of excessive control traffic, nonetheless optimizing for metrics such as delay and packet loss. In a previous work, we briefly introduced the Uniform Stress Routing protocol (USR), an approach inspired from the load distribution in trees. USR selects a limited set of relays at every node for all traffic forwarding, based on their ability to deliver traffic to the most solicited destinations, thus traffic directed to least solicited destinations will take suboptimal paths. This paper aims at further clarifying the concept of USR, then putting its performance to the test on Network Simulator 3. Experiments were conducted using the LR-WPAN module, and showed that USR allows a 13% decrease in control traffic, with no effect on the packet loss, but an increase in delays of 20%.

The object of the presentation is the development of a topology optimization tool for designing fibre-plastic composite structures which is appropriate for each material involved. The main goal of this algorithm is maximum rigidity with as even a distribution of tension as possible throughout the component, which is achieved by distributing the load from high-load to lower load bearing areas, thereby optimizing material distribution. The weight optimization of specific components is possible in this way. As continues to be shown, the developed adaptive topology and fibre angle optimization is beneficial from a technological, materialmechanical and economical point of view, and can be applied in everyday practice without any problems. The comparison of theoretical and practical experiments with carbon fibre reinforced plastic prototypes is followed by the display of the weight, stability and rigidity characteristics of the optimization method by means of numerical examinations of FE models. On the basis of these numerical examinations, it has proven possible to develop a method which optimizes the topology and orientation of every single fibre layer of an entire laminate in a simple manner. The result produced is a structural recommendation which complies with the performance capacity of the FPC. The structural optimization of FPC is already done automatically on relatively large components. It has been used several times in practical applications and has produced convincing results through significant improvements to the structural properties of the optimized components.
