Tian Lan et al.

Summary: This paper presents a novel multiscale explicit topology optimisation approach for concurrently optimizing the structure at the macro level and the bio-mimicking porous infillings at the micro level. The proposed method constructs solid bar components with cross-section control at the macro level and sphere components at the micro level as the minimal control units. Numerical examples and experiments are used to demonstrate the functionalities, correctness, and manufacturability of the proposed method.

Vorogrid: A static-aware variable-density Voronoi mesh to design the tube structure tessellation of tall buildings

Francesco Laccone et al.

Summary: In the context of tall building design, the use of the tube concept and the diagrid pattern has been efficient in providing structural support. However, to improve the architectural impact and aesthetic appeal, alternative geometries such as Voronoi mesh are gaining interest. This paper introduces a method called Vorogrid, which modifies the Voronoi mesh to create a more organic-looking and mechanically sound tube structure, offering design control and better average performances compared to random Voronoi structures.

Scale-separated VCUT level set method for designing the graded stochastic Voronoi cellular structure

Lianxiong Chen et al.

Summary: Cellular structures with lightweight and high strength have become popular in modern industrial fields. The optimization design methods for cellular structure have been developed along with the advancement of additive manufacturing. However, most existing optimization designs focus on non-stochastic cellular structures, which have disadvantages in structure anisotropy and poor connectivity of adjacent microstructures. In this work, a scale-separated variable cutting (VCUT) level set method is proposed for designing a graded stochastic Voronoi cellular structure.

Controllable three-dimension auxetic structure design strategies based on triply periodic minimal surfaces and the application in hip implant

Bo Liu et al.

Summary: 3D auxetic structures are successfully implemented based on the triply periodic minimal surface (TPMS) using a dual-period function. Dual-period deformation functions are obtained by summarizing the characteristics of periodic deformation functions and applying Bezier curve fitting methods. The property of negative Poisson's ratio is investigated and adjusted in the auxetic structures, which can effectively prevent the failure of bone implants.

Reinier Giele et al.

Summary: This study explores the issue of non-unique or very flat minima solutions in variable thickness sheet and homogenization-based topology optimization. By adding a measure of non-void space to the objective function, clearer and better-defined solutions can be obtained without significantly increasing structural compliance. Various alternatives for cleaning up solutions are discussed, and two efficient approaches involving introducing an auxiliary field to control non-void space are proposed, leading to significant qualitative and quantitative improvements in designs.
