This paper presents a matrix-based procedure to characterize the specific stiffness properties
of 2D lattice materials with any arbitrary cell topology. Unlike previous works, the current …

This paper focuses on the structural design of the microscopic architecture of a lattice material
with regular octet-truss cell topology and on the multiscale design of an axially loaded …

DEFORMATIONS of aircraft’s structure during flight have a significant effect on the aerodynamic
performance of the aircraft. The process of aircraft wing design is multidisciplinary in …

Background Although many research studies investigating subsidence of intervertebral fusion
cages have been published, to our knowledge, no study has comprehensively compared …

MXenes are progressively evolving two-dimensional (2D) materials with an expanding wide
range of applications in the field of energy storage. They rank among the best electrode …

This paper proposes the development of lattice materials with the concurrent consideration
of their specific elastic mechanical properties and their corresponding phononic wave …

In the current paper a methodology for the design optimization of a skin-stringer panel of an
aircraft wing-box is presented. The ability to resist the compressive load is assessed through …

… In summary, the DES-SA combination with upwind schemes is not suitable for resolving …
influence on downstream pressure fluctuations, as long as the DES-SA model is avoided. …

Background: Due to the side effects of clinically approved anticancer drugs there is a great
need to explore and develop new metal-based anticancer drug molecules of high efficiency …

In this paper, a novel multiscale and multi-stage structural design optimization procedure is
developed for the weight minimization of hopper cars. The procedure is tested under various …
