Multiscale Optimization and Materials Design

The proposed theory and methods are related to statics, dynamics, thermoelastics and the coupling of different physical fields. Therefore, it provides a comprehensive designing scheme when multiple factors are taken into account. For example, the designing scheme can have a great significance on enhancing the structural performances under coupled multi-physical fields, such as load bearing capacity, vibration resistance ability, and safety under thermal stress and so on.

Several numerical examples are highlighted in this unique volume based on practical engineering applications. The examples collectively demonstrate drastically improved designs featuring excellent unit-cell configuration and highly regular macroscale material distribution in a variety of industrial applications.
