A two-stage structural optimisation and thermal discretisation of non-convective structured insulators : applications in granular-solid structures by additive manufacturing technology

A systematic design procedure for characterising the strength and insulation requirements of a modular unit structure from additive manufacturing has been presented. The proposed 'two-stage' method consists of structural optimisation and thermal 'discretisation', through use of t...
