  • Topology Optimization to Resist Buckling
    Avecillas, Javier; Eatherton, Matthew R. (2019-07-15)
    A topology optimization algorithm to control out-of-plane buckling in shear-acting structural fuses is provided. The optimization procedure uses a genetic algorithm written in Matlab to find the distribution of material that facilitates considerable yielding before buckling in shear-acting structural fuses. Users will need to obtain a copy of the finite element software FEAP to use this topology optimization routine.
