TOPress: a MATLAB implementation for topology optimization of structures subjected to design-dependent pressure loads
Prabhat Kumar
In a topology optimization setting, design-dependent fluidic pressure loads pose several challenges as their direction, magnitude, and location alter with topology evolution. This…
Topological synthesis of fluidic pressure-actuated robust compliant mechanisms
Prabhat Kumar, Matthijs Langelaar
This paper presents a robust density-based topology optimization approach for synthesizing pressure-actuated compliant mechanisms. To ensure functionality under manufacturing inacc…
A numerical scheme for filter boundary conditions in topology optimization on regular and irregular meshes
Prabhat Kumar, Eduardo Fernández
In density-based topology optimization, design variables associated to the boundaries of the design domain require unique treatment to negate boundary effects arising from the filt…
On topology optimization of design-dependent pressure-loaded three-dimensional structures and compliant mechanisms
Prabhat Kumar, Matthijs Langelaar
This paper presents a density-based topology optimization method for designing three-dimensional (3D) compliant mechanisms and loadbearing structures with design-dependent pressure…
On topology optimization of large deformation contact-aided shape morphing compliant mechanisms
Prabhat Kumar, Roger A. Sauer, Anupam Saxena
A topology optimization approach for designing large deformation contact-aided shape morphing compliant mechanisms is presented. Such mechanisms can be used in varying operating co…
Topology Optimization of Fluidic Pressure Loaded Structures and Compliant Mechanisms using the Darcy Method
Prabhat Kumar, Jan S. Frouws, Matthijs Langelaar
In various applications, design problems involving structures and compliant mechanisms experience fluidic pressure loads. During topology optimization of such design problems, thes…
