Deblurring structural edges in variable thickness topology optimization via density-gradient-informed projection
Gabriel Stankiewicz, Chaitanya Dev, Paul Steinmann
Variable thickness topology optimization (VTTO) is a potent methodology for designing high-performance, high-stiffness sheet structures. However, this method frequently encounters…

A novel multi-thickness topology optimization method for balancing structural performance and manufacturability
Gabriel Stankiewicz, Chaitanya Dev, Paul Steinmann
Topology optimization (TO) in two dimensions often presents a trade-off between structural performance and manufacturability, with unpenalized (variable-thickness) methods yielding…

Configurational-force-driven adaptive refinement and coarsening in topology optimization
Gabriel Stankiewicz, Chaitanya Dev, Paul Steinmann
The iterative nature of topology optimization, especially in combination with nonlinear state problems, often requires the solution of thousands of linear equation systems. Further…
