8:45 | Keynote Speaker: Ole Sigmund, DTU Technical University of Denmark Presentation Title: Recent Development in Large-Scale, Multiscale, and Multi-Physics Topology Optimization |
Topic 1: Topology Optimization and Advanced Manufacturing Technologies
Introductions: Angus Kingon; Q&A: Katherine T. Faber | ||
Topology optimization focuses on the function of a material or structure, but the manufacture of the material or structure is rarely considered as part of the optimization. In practice, this results in designs that are theoretically optimal but that could never be realized. This topic considers how topology optimization can incorporate manufacturability along with functional design. We ask: What new methods are required to simultaneously optimize |
a design and its manufacture; What new manufacturing technologies are enabled by doing so; and What are the step change improvements that can be created in the underlying manufacturing technologies? | ||

Topic 2: Topology Optimization and Multi-Physics
Introductions: Carlos Levi; Q&A: William Paul King | ||
Most topology optimizers consider a single physical domain, for example, stress/strain analysis for structural design or electromagnetic analysis for photonic crystal design. This topic considers challenges and opportunities that combine multiple physical processes. For example: How might we create an optimal design for both mechanical properties along with fluidstructure interactions; or how might we create an optimal design for a chemically reacting flow in the presence of a distributed catalyst? The session will discuss the methods required for multifunctional topology optimization and the software intelligence required to search these design spaces. | ||

8:30 | Welcome, Plans for Today: Haydn Wadley, Chair Introduction: Ned Thomas |
8:45 | Keynote Speaker: Joe M. DeSimone, Carbon, Inc. Presentation Title: Digital Design and Manufacturing with Tunable, High-Performance Elastomeric Materials |
Topic 3: Topology Optimization of Soft Materials and Deformable Structures
Introductions: Frank Zok; Q&A: Ned Thomas | ||
Soft and compliant structures could unlock new applications in medicine and bioengineering, wearable structures and devices, and humanmachine interfaces. While topology optimization for rigid materials and structures |
is quite mature, there are a lack of tools and methods for topology optimization of soft or compliant structures, and structures that undergo large deformations as part of their intended function. This topic considers: What are the fundamental challenges for topology optimization of soft structures and how might these be overcome; and for what applications and domains would there transformational new opportunities. | ||
