New article published: “Nature-inspired optimization of tubular joints for metal 3D printing”. We analyzed new tubular joint shapes using solid isotropic material with the penalization method (SIMP) in cooperation with multiple players (architects, manufacturers, producers). The article is open access, and can be downloaded from here.
