In this work, the authors have deeply investigated the applicability of topology optimization to the wearable technology field. Topology optimization is quite new in this field and it is considered as one of the most challenging and promising strategy in structural optimization.

Abstract
In this work, the authors have deeply investigated the applicability of topology optimization to the wearable technology field. Topology optimization is quite new in this field and it is considered as one of the most challenging and promising strategy in structural optimization. This new approach allowed to evaluate the optimal distribution of a given amount of material in the design domain to get the optimal connectivity, shape and number of holes. This approach enables the creation of complex 3D geometries, which are usually difficult or impossible to be built using traditional manufacturing methods. The results reported above serve as preliminary tests. At the time of writing, the designed components are going to be printed in order to test soon the whole new mechanism.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
