Design optimization for an additively manufactured automotive component
Abdi, Meisam; Ashcroft, Ian; Wildman, Ricky (Image, 3-D)The aim of this paper is to investigate the design optimization and additive manufacture of automotive components. A Titanium brake pedal processed through Selective Laser Melting (SLM) is considered as a test case. Different ... -
Investigation of passive oscillations of flexible splitter plates attached to a circular cylinder
Abdi, Rezvan; Rezazadeh, Niki; Abdi, Meisam (Article)This paper presents a numerical study to address wake control of a circular cylinder subjected to two-dimensional laminar flow regime using single and multiple flexible splitter plates attached to the cylinder. Three ... -
Reduction of fluid forces and vortex shedding frequency of a circular cylinder using rigid splitter plates
Abdi, Rezvan; Rezazadeh, Niki; Abdi, Meisam (Article)This study investigates the fluid forces acting on a circular cylinder in a laminar flow regime while using a passive control strategy. Three cases including the cylinder with one, two or three rigid splitter plates attached ... -
Strategies for functionally graded lattice structures derived using topology optimisation for Additive Manufacturing
Panesar, Ajit; Abdi, Meisam; Hickman, Duncan; Ashcroft, Ian (Article)A number of strategies that enable lattice structures to be derived from Topology Optimisation (TO) results suitable for Additive Manufacturing (AM) are presented. The proposed strategies are evaluated for mechanical ... -
Topology Optimization of Geometrically Nonlinear Structures using an Evolutionary Optimization Method
Abdi, Meisam; Ashcroft, Ian; Wildman, Ricky (Article)Iso-XFEM method is an evolutionary optimization method developed in our previous studies to enable the generation of high resolution topology optimised designs suitable for additive manufacture. Conventional approaches for ...
