Substructure-Based Topology Optimization for Symmetric Hierarchical Lattice Structures

This work presents a topology optimization method for symmetric hierarchical lattice structures with substructuring. In this method, we define two types of symmetric lattice substructures, each of which contains many finite elements. By controlling the materials distribution of these elements, the c...
