Topology optimization and additive manufacturing together enable the optimal design and direct fabrication of complex geometric parts with groundbreaking performance for diverse applications. However constraining the optimization to ensure that the …
By tuning the scale hyperparameter of a neural design representation based on a Fourier feature network, we can control the smoothness of designs without explicit smoothing filters.
Simulation and inverse design for surface-based inflatables.
Fusing two sheets along parallel curves creates pockets that inflate into tubes and deform into a curved 3D shape; we optimize the fusing curve network to reproduce an input geometry.
C++ simulation framework for elastic rods and X-Shells.
This technical report derives analytical expressions for the eigenvalues and eigenmatrices of an isotropic membrane energy density.
