It is envisaged that the proposed topology optimization frameworks will lay the foundations for the next-generation of design methods wherein accurate physics of a system response is consistently considered and incorporated in the topology optimization design process. cache/g445cc11d1m.txt txt/g445cc11d1m.txt
