Multidiscipline Topology Optimization of Stiffened Plate/Shell Structures Inspired by Growth Mechanisms of Leaf Veins in Nature
Biological structures with preeminent performance in nature endow inexhaustible inspiration for creative design in engineering. In this paper, based on the observation of the natural morphogenesis of leaf veins, we put forward a simple and practical multidiscipline topology optimization method to pr...
