Multiscale topological material design, aiming at obtaining optimal distribution of the material at
 +
several scales in structural materials is still a challenge. In this case, the cost function to be
 +
minimized is placed at the macro-scale (compliance function)  [<span id='cite-1'></span>[[#1|1]]], but the design variables (material
 +
distribution) lie at both the macro-scale and the micro-scale  [<span id='cite-2'></span>[[#2|2]]]. The large number of involved design
 +
variables and the multi-scale character of the analysis, resulting into a multiplicative cost of the
 +
optimization process, often make such approaches prohibitive, even if in 2D cases.

Your paper should start with a concise and informative title. Titles are often used in information-retrieval systems. Avoid abbreviations and formulae where possible. Capitalize the first word of the title.

In this work, an integrated approach for multi-scale topological design of structural linear materials is proposed. The approach features the following properties:
  
−
Provide a maximum of 6 keywords, and avoiding general and plural terms and multiple concepts (avoid, for example, 'and', 'of'). Be sparing with abbreviations: only abbreviations firmly established in the field should be used. These keywords will be used for indexing purposes.
+
- The “topological derivative” is considered the basic mathematical tool to be used for the
 +
purposes of determining the sensitivity of the cost function to material removal  [<span id='cite-3'></span>[[#3|3]]]. In
 +
conjunction with a level-set-based “algorithm”  [<span id='cite-4'></span>[[#4|4]]] it provides a robust and well-founded
 +
setting for material distribution optimization  [<span id='cite-5'></span>[[#5|5]]].
  
−
An abstract is required for every paper; it should succinctly summarize the reason for the work, the main findings, and the conclusions of the study. Abstract is often presented separately from the article, so it must be able to stand alone. For this reason, references and hyperlinks should be avoided. If references are essential, then cite the author(s) and year(s). Also, non-standard or uncommon abbreviations should be avoided, but if essential they must be defined at their first mention in the abstract itself.
+
- The computational cost associated to the multiscale optimization problem is dramatically reduced by resorting to the concept of the online/offline decomposition of the computations. A “Computational Vademecum” containing the micro-scale solution for the topological optimization problem in a RVE for a large number of discrete macroscopic stress-states, is used for solving that problem by simple consultation.

- Coupling of the optimization problem at both scales is solved by a simple iterative “fixedpoint” scheme, which is found to be robust and convergent.

You can enter and format the text of this document by selecting the ‘Edit’ option in the menu at the top of this frame or next to the title of every section of the document. This will give access to the visual editor. Alternatively, you can edit the source of this document (Wiki markup format) by selecting the ‘Edit source’ option.

- The proposed technique is enriched by the concept of “manufacturability”, i.e.: obtaining sub-optimal solutions of the original problems displaying homogeneous material over finite sizes domains at the macrostructure: the “structural components”.

Most of the papers in Scipedia are written in English (write your manuscript in American or British English, but not a mixture of these). Anyhow, specific journals in other languages can be published in Scipedia. In any case, the documents published in other languages must have an abstract written in English.
+
The approach is tested by application to some engineering examples, involving minimum compliance design of material and structure topologies, which show the capabilities of the proposed framework.

Divide your article into clearly defined and numbered sections. Subsections should be numbered 1.1, 1.2, etc. and then 1.1.1, 1.1.2, ... Use this numbering also for internal cross-referencing: do not just refer to 'the text'. Any subsection may be given a brief heading. Capitalize the first word of the headings.

Abstract

Multiscale topological material design, aiming at obtaining optimal distribution of the material at several scales in structural materials is still a challenge. In this case, the cost function to be minimized is placed at the macro-scale (compliance function) [1], but the design variables (material distribution) lie at both the macro-scale and the micro-scale [2]. The large number of involved design variables and the multi-scale character of the analysis, resulting into a multiplicative cost of the optimization process, often make such approaches prohibitive, even if in 2D cases.

In this work, an integrated approach for multi-scale topological design of structural linear materials is proposed. The approach features the following properties:

- The “topological derivative” is considered the basic mathematical tool to be used for the purposes of determining the sensitivity of the cost function to material removal [3]. In conjunction with a level-set-based “algorithm” [4] it provides a robust and well-founded setting for material distribution optimization [5].

- The computational cost associated to the multiscale optimization problem is dramatically reduced by resorting to the concept of the online/offline decomposition of the computations. A “Computational Vademecum” containing the micro-scale solution for the topological optimization problem in a RVE for a large number of discrete macroscopic stress-states, is used for solving that problem by simple consultation.

- Coupling of the optimization problem at both scales is solved by a simple iterative “fixedpoint” scheme, which is found to be robust and convergent.

- The proposed technique is enriched by the concept of “manufacturability”, i.e.: obtaining sub-optimal solutions of the original problems displaying homogeneous material over finite sizes domains at the macrostructure: the “structural components”.

The approach is tested by application to some engineering examples, involving minimum compliance design of material and structure topologies, which show the capabilities of the proposed framework.
