Topological design of microstructures using periodic material-field series-expansion and gradient-free optimization algorithm
Light-weight cellular materials with periodic repetitive microstructures are widely used in various fields due to their superior mechanical/multi-physical performances. As the microstructural design problem is known to have multiple local minima, most gradient-based topology optimization methods sig...
