Multiscale Structural Topology OptimizationAuthor(s): Liang Xia\nFormat: Hardback\nPublisher: ISTE Press Ltd - Elsevier Inc, United Kingdom\nImprint: ISTE Press Ltd - Elsevier Inc\nISBN-13: 9781785481000, 978-1785481000\nSynopsis\nMultiscale Structural Topology Optimization discusses the development of a multiscale design framework for topology optimization of multiscale nonlinear structures. With the intention to alleviate the heavy computational burden of the design framework, the authors present a POD-based adaptive surrogate model for the RVE solutions at the microscopic scale and make a step further towards the design of multiscale elastoviscoplastic structures. Various optimization methods for structural size, shape, and topology designs have been developed and widely employed in engineering applications. Topology optimization has been recognized as one of the most effective tools for least weight and performance design, especially in aeronautics and aerospace engineering. Th.
