Topology optimization in the field of computational mechanics has a great potential for design to maximize the performance of structures and materials. We develop a new topology optimization method which may provide unprecedented mechanical performance aiming at innovative structures/materials. In addition, research on numerical optimization method considering additive manufacturing is also one of our great interests.
