Abstract:In recent years, the popularity of fiber-reinforced materials in the aerospace and automobile industries grows due to their high stiffness-to-weight ratios. Thus, a structural design methodology is needed to bring out the celebrated mechanical properties of these materials as much as possible. From this aspect, topology optimization has been considered as an effective method for such a method. As a natural consequence of the trend, intensive researches on topology optimization methodologies to handle the aniso… Show more
