A new 3D topology optimization approach is presented that is based on the singular value decomposition of the input/output transfer matrix of the system. To start with, the input and output vectors, i.e. the acting loads and the quantities of ...

• The approach is multi-input, i.e. it handles multiple load cases.
• The approach is multi-output, i.e. multiple goals can be pursued at the same time.
• The method may be extended to dynamic topology optimization with minor changes.

The paper introduces a tool called Automatic Scaling Tool (AST) designed for improving and expediting musculoskeletal (MSK) simulations based on generic models in OpenSim. Scaling is a crucial initial step in MSK ...

• Musculoskeletal analyses require scaling a generic model to the subject dimensions.
• The scaling procedure is a critical and time-consuming step in MSK simulations.
• An automatic tool for scaling OpenSim generic models is described ...

This note communicates a simple modification of the optimality criteria (OC) design update—as found in well-known Matlab implementations of the classical topology design problem—to an update based on a quadratic program (QP) with a single linear ...

Cutting off the tail of sugarcane is an extremely important process in the sugarcane harvesting process. In response to the problems of low automation, high labor intensity, and high impurity content in the current sugarcane harvester tip cutting ...

Robotic arms, which are favored for usage in both large- and small-scale industrial regions, run into issues with numerous limits between the starting and ending locations in the working space when attempting to complete a particular task. With ...
