Revisiting element removal for density-based structural topology optimization with reintroduction by Heaviside projection
Reza Behrou, Reza Lotfi, Josephine Voigt Carstensen +2
We present a strategy grounded in the element removal idea of Bruns and Tortorelli [1] and aimed at reducing computational cost and circumventing potential numerical instabilities…
Topology optimization of nonlinear periodically microstructured materials for tailored homogenized constitutive properties
Reza Behrou, Maroun Abi Ghanem, Brianna C. Macnider +6
A topology optimization method is presented for the design of periodic microstructured materials with prescribed homogenized nonlinear constitutive properties over finite strain ra…
Growing Phenotype-controlled Phononic Materials from Plant Cells Scaffolds
Maroun Abi Ghanem, Liliane Khoryati, Reza Behrou +5
Biological composites offer self-healing properties, biocompatibility, high responsivity to external stimuli, and multifunctionality, due, in part, to their complex, hierarchical m…
A novel study of temperature effects on the viscoelastic behavior of articular cartilage
Reza Behrou, Hamid Foroughi, Fardad Haghpanah
This paper presents a new approach to study the effects of temperature on the poro- elastic and viscoelastic behavior of articular cartilage. Biphasic solid-fluid mixture theory is…
Topology optimization for transient response of structures subjected to dynamic loads
Reza Behrou, James K. Guest
This paper presents a topology optimization framework for structural problems subjected to transient loading. The mechanical model assumes a linear elastic isotropic material, infi…
