Topology optimization of multi-scale structures: a review [PDF]
AbstractMulti-scale structures, as found in nature (e.g., bone and bamboo), hold the promise of achieving superior performance while being intrinsically lightweight, robust, and multi-functional. Recent years have seen a rapid development in topology optimization approaches for designing multi-scale structures, but the field actually dates back to the ...

On multi-scale event-based optimization
For most practical discrete event dynamic systems (DEDSs), the system structures are hierarchical and contain multiple subsystems, which leads to the fact that state transitions within different scales are differentiated.

Multi-Scale Concurrent Topology Optimization Based on BESO, Implemented in MATLAB
In multi-scale topology optimization methods, the analysis encompasses two distinct scales: the macro-scale and the micro-scale. The macro-scale refers to the overall size and dimensions of the structural domain being studied, while the micro-scale ...

Shape optimum design of porous structure for minimizing maximum thermal stress
In this study, we propose a solution to a shape optimization problem for the strength design of porous structures under thermal loading. The homogenization method is used to bridge the macrostructure and the porous microstructures, in which the elastic ...

Size optimization of micro-frame structures for designing multiscale structures
In this paper, we propose a multi-scale optimal design method for determining the member diameters of minute micro-frame structures in a macro-structure. The microstructures and the macrostructure are bridged by the homogenization method.
