Topology optimization of contact-aided compliant mechanisms for tracing multi-kink paths
Prabhat Kumar, Roger A Sauer, Anupam Saxena
This paper presents a topology optimization approach to design 2D contact-aided compliant mechanisms (CCMs) that can trace the desired output paths with more than one kink while ex…
Normalized field product approach: A parameter-free density evaluation method for close-to-binary solutions in topology optimization with embedded length scale
Nikhil Singh, Prabhat Kumar, Anupam Saxena
This paper provides a normalized field product approach for topology optimization to achieve close-to-binary optimal designs. The method employs a parameter-free density measure th…
