The city of future: biourbanism and constructural law [PDF]
, 2016 Nowadays dynamic elements in urban fabric are often concealed by the insertion of stylish new architecture; real patterns of social life (‘bios’), have been replaced by rigid geometric grids and compact building blocks.

Constructal Theory and Aeroelastic Design of Flexible Flying Wing Aircraft
Aerospace, 2017 The aeroelastic behavior of high-aspect-ratio very flexible flying wing is highly affected by the geometric nonlinearities of the aircraft structure. This paper reviews the findings on how these nonlinearities influence the structural and flight dynamics,

Biophilic urban developments following dynamic flows of tree-shaped architectures [PDF]
, 2015 Latest theories and practices in Biophilic designs of the urban space regard the urban fabric as being composed of several interrelated layers of energetic structure influencing each other in a non-linear manner primarily.

Multi-Objective Constructal Optimization for Marine Condensers
Energies, 2021 A marine condenser with exhausted steam as the working fluid is researched in this paper. Constructal designs of the condenser are numerically conducted based on single and multi-objective optimizations, respectively. In the single objective optimization,

AD-HOC principles of minimum energy expenditure as corollaries of the constructal law the cases of river basins and human vascular systems [PDF]
, 2016 In a recent paper [1] Reis showed that both the principles of extremum of entropy production rate, which are often used in the study of complex systems, are corollaries of the Constructal Law.
