Topology Optimization for Materially Efficient Reinforced Concrete Design: Development, Fabrication, and Structural Evaluation
Jackson L. Jewett, Josephine V. Carstensen
The production of concrete generates roughly 8% of anthropogenic CO2 globally, largely because of the massive quantities that are manufactured. New design methods must be developed…
TopoCtrl: Post-Optimization Topology Editing Toward Target Structural Characteristics
Hongrui Chen, Dat Quoc Ha, Josephine V. Carstensen +1
Topology optimization can generate high-performance structures, but designers often need to revise the resulting topology in ways that reflect fabrication preferences, structural i…
TopoEdit: Fast Post-Optimization Editing of Topology Optimized Structures
Hongrui Chen, Josephine V. Carstensen, Faez Ahmed
Despite topology optimization producing high-performance structures, late-stage localized revisions remain brittle: direct density-space edits (e.g., warping pixels, inserting hole…
AI-Guided Human-In-the-Loop Inverse Design of High Performance Engineering Structures
Dat Quoc Ha, Md Ferdous Alam, Markus J. Buehler +2
Inverse design tools such as Topology Optimization (TO) can achieve new levels of improvement for high-performance engineered structures. However, widespread use is hindered by hig…
