Structural topology optimization, which aims to find the optimal physical structure that maximizes mechanical performance, is vital in engineering design applications aerospace, mechanical, and civil engineering. Recently, generative adversarial networks (GANs) have emerged as a popular alternative traditional iterative optimization methods. However, GANs can be challenging train, limited gener...

To manufacture high-quality products with low manufacturing costs and optimal performance, better design concepts are required. The initial concept can lead to inefficient structural higher if the topology is not optimal. Topology optimization enables designers reach their goals faster, more accurately, cost-effectively. However, geometry obtained through manufacturing-ready due non-smooth boun...

Solid Isotropic Microstructure with Penalization(SIMP) in topology optimization was deeply analyzed, and thus SIMP topology optimization criteria algorithm was deduced. Simulation analysis to the results was also conducted by Ansys, so as the structural lightweight design to machine crossbeams of the HTM series gantry. By verifying, the structure was 3.8% lower than the traditional structure qu...

Level set methods have become an attractive design tool in shape and topology optimization for obtaining lighter and more efficient structures. In this paper, the popular Radial Basis Functions (RBFs) in scattered data fitting and function approximation are incorporated into the conventional level set methods to construct a more efficient approach for structural topology optimization. RBF impli...

In the present work, a new computational framework for structural topology optimization based on the concept of moving deformable components is proposed. Compared with the traditional pixel or node point-based solution framework, the proposed solution paradigm can incorporate more geometry and mechanical information into topology optimization directly and therefore render the solution process m...

Most studies in relay coordination have focused solely on coordination of overcurrent relays while distance relays are used as the main protection of transmission lines. Since, simultaneous coordination of these two types of relays can provide a better protection, in this paper, a new approach is proposed for simultaneous coordination of distance and directional overcurrent relays (D&DOCRs). Al...

In order to achieve optimization control of complex network topology connection and to identify the network topology which with the greatest network connection gain, this paper proposes the network topology connection optimization control algorithm based on network efficiency and average connectivity. The algorithm uses network efficiency to characterize network connectivity gains, uses average...
