How we measure 'reads'
A 'read' is counted each time someone views a publication summary (such as the title, abstract, and list of authors), clicks on a figure, or views or downloads the full-text. Learn more

A numerical investigation is performed addressing the optimal design of stiff structures accounting for uncertainty in loading amplitudes. A minimum volume problem is endowed with a stochastic compliance constraint handling normal distributions and solved adopting mathematical programming. The formulation, originally conceived for a single load cas...
There is an additional new fact that topology optimization has started its career more than hundred years ago by Maxwell and only a few years later by Michell. The classical solutions of the different type of plate or shell problems can be followed by the works of Mroz, Prager and Shield. This paper overviews these almost forgotten results. In addi...
The subject of the paper is to investigate a new way for avoiding the development of checkerboard patterns in structural topology optimization, using an additional in-plane rotational freedom. The efficiency of a few, from the many existing formulations, with differing complexity are put into comparison, such as the standard 4 noded bilinear elemen...
The aim of this study is to compare two available numerical tools for solving of partial differential equations for the optimal design of structures. In the past years numerous methods were developed for topology optimization, from these we have adopted the optimality criteria (OC) approach. The main idea is that we state the optimal conditions, th...
The plated structures are one of the most frequently used engineering structures. The object of this research work is the optimal design of curved folded plates. This work is an ongoing investigation. There are various solution methods to analyze this type of structures. Here the finite strip method is used. At first single load condition is consid...
