Checkerboard patterns in layout optimization
Alejandro R. Diaz,Ole Sigmund +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, effective properties of arrangements of strong and weak materials in a checkerboard fashion are computed and kinematic constraints are imposed so that the displacements are consistent with typical finite element approximations.
Journal ArticleDOI
Shape optimization of structures for multiple loading conditions using a homogenization method
TL;DR: In this article, a formulation for shape optimization of elastic structures subject to multiple load cases is presented, where the problem is solved using a homogenization method, and it is shown that the more general formulation can produce more stable designs while it introduces little additional complexity.
Journal ArticleDOI
Disease Staging and Prognosis in Smokers Using Deep Learning in Chest Computed Tomography.
Germán González,Samuel Y. Ash,Gonzalo Vegas-Sánchez-Ferrero,Jorge Onieva Onieva,Farbod N. Rahaghi,James C. Ross,Alejandro R. Diaz,Raúl San José Estépar,George R. Washko +8 more
TL;DR: A deep‐learning approach that uses only computed tomography imaging data can identify those smokers who have COPD and predict who is most likely to have ARD events and those with the highest mortality.
Journal ArticleDOI
A topology optimization method for design of negative permeability metamaterials
Alejandro R. Diaz,Ole Sigmund +1 more
TL;DR: A methodology based on topology optimization for the design of metamaterials with negative permeability is presented, based on a thin layer of copper printed on a dielectric, rectangular plate of fixed dimensions.
Book ChapterDOI
Topology and Generalized Layout Optimization of Elastic Structures
TL;DR: The work discussed here presents a formulation to address the simultaneous optimization of the topology, shape and size of the structure to find the optimum layout of a linearly elastic structure.
