Structural optimization is a core component in modern engineering, which enables engineers to obtain more efficient design solutions. For many applications, the real-life dynamic loading on the structures must be taken into account, even though it often requires considerable computational...
This research develops a new concept of docking vessel, for the optimization of landing operations. Our idea is separating the functions of transit and landing into two different vessels, where the transporter is the docking vessel of the lander. This...
Lattice structures have become increasingly popular in various applications due to their lightweight and wide range of effective properties that can be locally tailored by adjusting their geometric features. Finite element (FE) simulations are commonly used to predict their mechanical...
