...Ge Gao; Yaobin Li; Hui Pan; Limin Chen; Zhenyu Liu Purpose The purpose of this paper is to provide an effective members-adding method for truss topology optimization in plastic design. Design/methodology/approach With the help of the distribution of principal stress trajectories, obtained...

...Ole da Silva Smith Introducing the concept of a design domain to truss topology optimization, this paper presents an algorithm generating geometrically admissible ground structures on possibly concave (or even disconnected) 3D design domains. That is a set of connections between nodal points...
