Adaptive metamaterial resonators: a discrete and continuous mechanism
Vanessa Cool, Elke Deckers, Frank Naets
Locally resonant metamaterials are an established route to lightweight attenuation of vibration and noise, but their performance is tied to a bandgap fixed at the design stage. In…
Continuation strategies to mitigate convergence to low-performing local optima in topology optimization of sound transmission loss
Tom De Weer, Vanessa Cool, Elke Deckers
Dynamic topology optimization problems often suffer from convergence to low-performing local optima. This typically results in stiff designs that do not exploit dynamical phenomena…
A practical review on promoting connectivity in topology optimization
Vanessa Cool, Niels Aage, Ole Sigmund
Topology optimization facilitates the automated design of high-performance structures across various engineering fields but, if unconstrained, often produces designs that are compl…
A guide to numerical dispersion curve calculations: explanation, interpretation and basic Matlab code
Vanessa Cool, Elke Deckers, Lucas Van Belle +1
Dispersion diagrams play a crucial role in examining, analyzing and designing wave propagation in periodic structures. Despite their ubiquity and current research interest, introdu…
