Solid Topology Optimization Using Truss Lattices
Journal Title: INCAS BULLETIN - Year 2012, Vol 4, Issue 3
Abstract
This paper presents the development, results and conclusions obtained with a solid topology optimization code, using truss lattices as an alternative to continuum elements. Truss elements are used for the simplicity of the implementation in a new code, in all aspects: boundary conditions, loadings, elemental stiffness matrix. Blocked structures, well posed mechanical equilibrium problems are assured by a proper truss arrangement, lattice driven, similar to structured or unstructured meshing.

Assessment of three WENO type schemes for nonlinear conservative flux functions
This paper focuses on a new comparison of the behavior of three Weighted Essentially Non-Oscillatory (WENO) type numerical schemes for three different nonlinear fluxes, in the case of scalar conservation law. The analyti...
