Topology optimization of elastoplastic structures (2019)
Thesis
Li, M. Topology optimization of elastoplastic structures. (Thesis). Edinburgh Napier University. Retrieved from http://researchrepository.napier.ac.uk/Output/2086333

Topology optimization technique has been used as an efficient tool that optimizes material layout within a given space to obtain the desired functional performance. So far, topology optimization has been mainly focused on linear problems and less att... Read More about Topology optimization of elastoplastic structures.

Using topology optimization technique to determine the optimized layout of steel reinforcing bars in concrete structures (2016)
Conference Proceeding
Li, M., Zhang, H., & Wong, S. H. F. (2016). Using topology optimization technique to determine the optimized layout of steel reinforcing bars in concrete structures. In J. Herskovits (Ed.), Proceedings of 5th International Conference on Engineering Optimization (789-798)

This study presents an optimization procedure based on the modified Bi-directional evolutionary structural optimization (BESO) approach to optimize both location and orientation of discrete reinforcing steel bars within concrete structures, while sat...
