Topology optimization of load-bearing capacity

Optimization of Bone Scaffold Engineering for Load Bearing Applications

T his review highlights concepts that are required for successful generation of bone scaffolds to be used in load bearing applications. Through a discussion of the bone hierarchical levels, scaffold fabrication methods, and bone modeling response, a paradigm shift in the basic set of rules for scaffold generation is illustrated. Following these suggested guidelines may lead to the design of sca...

Unconventional Bearing Capacity Analysis and Optimization of Multicell Box Girders

This study deals with unconventional bearing capacity analysis and the procedure of optimizing a two-cell box girder. The generalized model which enables the local stress-strain analysis of multicell girders was developed based on the principle of cross-sectional decomposition. The applied methodology is verified using the experimental data (Djelosevic et al., 2012) for traditionally formed box...

abstract   statement of problem: hertzian indentation test has been proven to be an efficient and reliable alternative upon vickers hardness test. this method has been used to test dental ceramics, amalgams, glass ionomers and luting cements.there is limited published information about the load-bearing capacity of resin composites using hertizian indentation test. objectives: to investigate the...

TOPOLOGY OPTIMIZATION OF STRUCTURES UNDER TRANSIENT LOADS

In this article, an efficient methodology is presented to optimize the topology of structural systems under transient loads. Equivalent static loads concept is used to deal with transient loads and to solve an alternate quasi-static optimization problem. The maximum strain energy of the structure under the transient load during the loading interval is used as objective function. The objective f...
