Knowledge Base Repository

In addition to research papers, the Design Society is developing several valuable resources for those interested in the study of design. These include a repository of PhD theses, a library of case studies and transcripts of design activities, and an archive of our newsletters. Please note that these resources are accessible exclusively to Design Society members.

Abstract:
In the early stages of product development, engineers search for several different solutions to a design problem, which can then be further detailed and evaluated. This is due to little or fuzzy information about the product at this early phase of product development. The aim of this paper is to support this searching process with automated structural optimization. This is achieved by a combined approach of continuous topology optimization and stochastic algorithms. Computational results are presented and compared with results obtained by pure topology optimization.
