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:
By showing where to place material in a specified design space, the continuous topology optimization is very useful in product development of structural loaded components. However the optimizations design proposal is far from being a parametric CAD-model. Instead it usually consists of a tesselated surface, that has to be re-engineered. As this is often done manually, it takes a lot of time and expert knowledge. Curve skeleton algorithms have proven their ability to support the restructuring of truss-like design proposals by providing references for construction elements. To investigate a similar design concept for general optimization results, showing truss-like structures as well as surface-like sections, the suitability of surface skeletons for topology reconstruction is examined.
