Optimal design of micro-mechanisms by the homogenization method

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

The design of mechanisms for building micro-tools can be viewed as a shape optimization problem with a peculiar objective function. We propose such an optimization method based on homogenization, which is called topology optimization.
