Andrew Novillo, in writing his thesis for the Department of Civil and Mechanical Engineering at MIT, explores topology optimized metal in the recently published ‘ Experimentation of a topology-optimized metal structural connection under casting constraints ’.
.
While topology optimization is still new in construction and civil engineering, the aim of the study is to ‘bridge the gap across disciplines’ with a building design, efficient technique for fabrication, and comprehensive load testing.
.
Emerging and evolving from theories created by Galileo, beam design and optimization are certainly not novel concepts or exercises; however, today optimization is generally managed by high-tech software tools that allow engineers to design substantial, sophisticated structures.
.
Topology optimization is also used in applications for the automotive industry and other types of engineering, to include aerospace. Left: Cantilever Beam (Galilei 1638); Right: Optimized Truss […]
