Abstract

The present work aims at handling uncertain materials in shape and topology optimisation applied to additive manufacturing. More specifically, we minimise an objective function combining the mean values of standard cost functions and assume that the uncertainties are small and [...]

Abstract

Brick masonry is a multicomponent composite material, characterized by a marked inhomogeneity, a highly anisotropic behavior arising from the complex interactions between joints and bricks, and a considerable spatial variability of material properties, particularly [...]
