MOTO: Topology Optimization for Large Deformations via an Implicit Material Point Method
Rahul Kumar Padhy, Aaditya Chandrasekhar, Krishnan Suresh
The Finite element method (FEM) has long served as the computational backbone for topology optimization (TO). However, for designing structures undergoing large deformations, conve…
TOMATOES: Topology and Material Optimization for Latent Heat Thermal Energy Storage Devices
Rahul Kumar Padhy, Krishnan Suresh, Aaditya Chandrasekhar
Latent heat thermal energy storage (LHTES) systems are compelling candidates for energy storage, primarily owing to their high storage density. Improving their performance is cruci…
TOFLUX: A Differentiable Topology Optimization Framework for Multiphysics Fluidic Problems
Rahul Kumar Padhy, Krishnan Suresh, Aaditya Chandrasekhar
Topology Optimization (TO) holds the promise of designing next-generation compact and efficient fluidic devices. However, the inherent complexity of fluid-based TO systems, charact…
TreeTOp: Topology Optimization using Constructive Solid Geometry Trees
Rahul Kumar Padhy, Pramod Thombre, Krishnan Suresh +1
Feature-mapping methods for topology optimization (FMTO) facilitate direct geometry extraction by leveraging high-level geometric descriptions of the designs. However, FMTO often r…
