1. Analysis and Optimization of Ultra-Low-Power Rectifier with High Efficiency for Applications in Wireless Power Transmission and Energy Harvesting
Abstract The system capable of harvesting RF energy from the environment through an antenna and converting it into direct current energy to deliver to a load is known as rectenna. The rectifier circuit is an important part of the rectenna and its modeling is arduous since it employs a non-linear device working at extremely low power levels. In addition, ther

2. Two-scale topology optimization of macrostructure and porous microstructure composed of multiphase materials with distinct Poisson’s ratios
Abstract Negative Poisson’s ratio (NPR) material attracts a lot of attentions for its unique mechanical properties. However, achieving NPR is at the expense of reducing Young’s modulus. It has been observed that the composite stiffness can be enhanced when blending positive Poisson’s ratio (PPR) material into NPR material. Based on the respective inter

3. A Quantitative Comparison Between Size, Shape, Topology and Simultaneous Optimization for Truss Structures
Abstract There are typically three broad categories of structural optimization namely size, shape and topology. Over the past few decades various researchers have focused on developing techniques for optimizing structures by considering either one or a combination of these aspects. In this paper the efficiency of these techniques are investigated in an effor

4. Continuum Structural Layout in Consideration of the Balance of the Safety and the Properties of Structures
Abstract In the article, a new approach considering structural local failure for topology optimization of continuum structure is proposed. It aims at not only lowering the risk of local failure in the concerned structural regions, but also ensuring a good stiffness of the structure. The local failure may be caused by the structural uncertainties or possible

5. A Backtracking Search Algorithm for the Simultaneous Size, Shape and Topology Optimization of Trusses
Abstract This paper presents a Backtracking Search Optimization algorithm (BSA) to simultaneously optimize the size, shape and topology of truss structures. It focuses on the optimization of these three aspects since it is well known that the most effective scheme of truss optimization is achieved when they are simultaneously considered. The minimization of

6. Topological and Topographical Optimization of Automotive Spring Lower Seat
Abstract The design of a suspension system emphasizes weight reduction in this high-computation technology era. Understanding that the reduction of suspension mass can lead to cost and material reduction is important; moreover, the riding performance of the vehicle should be improved. Topology and topography structure optimization for the spring lower seat i

7. Geometry and Topology Optimization of Statically Determinate Beams under Fixed and Most Unfavorably Distributed Load
Abstract The paper concerns topology and geometry optimization of statically determinate beams with an arbitrary number of pin supports. The beams are simultaneously exposed to uniform dead load and arbitrarily distributed live load and optimized for the absolute maximum bending moment. First, all the beams with fixed topology are subjected to geometrical op

8. Structural Topology Optimization Based on the Smoothed Finite Element Method
Abstract In this paper, the smoothed finite element method, incorporated with the level set method, is employed to carry out the topology optimization of continuum structures. The structural compliance is minimized subject to a constraint on the weight of material used. The cell-based smoothed finite element method is employed to improve the accuracy and sta

9. Numeric reconstruction of 2D cellular actomyosin network from substrate displacement
Introduction: One of the fundamental structural elements of the cell is the cytoskeleton. Along with myosin, actin microfilaments are responsible for cellular contractions, and their organization may be related to pathological changes in myocardial tissue. Due to the complexity of factors involved, numerical modeling of the cytoskeleton has the potential to

10. Topological derivative-based topology optimization of structures subject to multiple load-cases
AbstractThe topological derivative measures the sensitivity of a shape functional with respect to an infinitesimal singular domain perturbation, such as the insertion of holes, inclusions or source-terms. The topological derivative has been successfully applied in obtaining the optimal topology for a large class of physics and engineering problems. In this p

11. An Airplane Calculator Featuring a High- Fidelity Methodology for Tailplane Sizing
ABSTRACT: The present work is concerned with the accurate modeling of transport airplanes. This is of primary importance to reduce aircraft development risks and because multi-disciplinary design and optimization (MDO) frameworks require an accurate airplane modeling to carry out realistic optimization tasks. However, most of them still make use of tail volu

12. Redes neurais com topologias otimizadas aplicadas na modelagem de dados geotécnicos e pluviométricos para predição de deslizamentos de solo
The problems related to landslides caused by rain on slopes have been a reality in several cities of Brazil and parts of the world. The government and research institutions have sought, in partnership, solutions to minimize the damage caused by such accidents, from studies of correlation between rainfall and landslide occurrences enabling the development of
