This paper describes the use of topology optimization as a synthesis tool for the design of
large‐displacement compliant mechanisms. An objective function for the synthesis of large‐…

The paper deals with topology optimization of structures undergoing large deformations. The
geometrically nonlinear behaviour of the structures are modelled using a total Lagrangian …

Objectives: Telemedicine applications could potentially solve many of the challenges faced
by the healthcare sectors in Europe. However, a framework for assessment of these …

Environmental degradation and social tensions have put societies under severe pressures
the past couple of decades to such a degree that a historic global political agreement was …

Objective: This trial compared the efficacy and safety profiles of the insulin analogues detemir
and glargine as the basal insulin component of a basal-bolus regimen in patients with type …

The aim of this paper is to present topology optimization as a method to obtain conceptual
designs for crashworthiness. The topology optimization formulation uses rigorously computed …

Intimate contact at the bone-porous surface interface is not always achievable in noncemented
prosthetic implantation. We investigated the effect of hydroxyapatite (HA) coating on …

During prosthetic implantation, gaps between the implant surface and the surrounding bone
may occur resulting in reduced implant stability. In these instances bone-conductive …

The present study describes the cervical column as related to head posture, cranial base,
and mandibular condylar hypoplasia. Two groups were included in the study. The ‘normal’ …

The present work deals with topology optimization for obtaining a desired energy absorption
history of a crushed structure. The optimized energy absorbing structures are used to …
