Differentiable nonlinear analysis for structural optimization with geometric and material nonlinearities

Truss optimization under nonlinear conditions remains challenging due to the complex coupling between geometric and material nonlinearities, as well as the difficulty in obtaining accurate and efficient sensitivities. In this work, a differentiable nonlinear analysis framework is...

Multimember Unit–Based Topology Optimization of Cable-Supported Grid Structures

Abstract Cable-supported grid structures, integrating rigid and flexible components, represent a lightweight and efficient structural form. Conventional topology design methods based on single-member units often produce incomplete upper grids and lower cable-supported structures...
