Progress toward Topology Optimization (TO) for Additive Manufacturing (AM) and Fatigue

Abstract

This report summarizes research progress to date in topology optimization (TO) for additive manufacturing (AM) and fatigue. The effort has been divided into 2 parts: TO for AM and TO for fatigue of metals. The 2-D and 3-D solutions are presented for TO for AM and fatigue. The proposed design approaches have produced promising results and suggest further investigation. A path forward is suggested in the conclusion.
