RESEARCHER RECRUITMENT
Regarding project:
Generative inverse design of bio-inspired TPMS porous structures: From computational approach, topology optimization to design and applications
- Positions: 02 researchers
- Workplace: CIRTech Institute, HUTECH University, Vietnam
- Last application date: 31/03/2025 or when fully occupied
- Vacancy rate: 100%
Project description:
This project focuses on one of the outstanding bio-inspired structures, the triply periodic minimal surface (TPMS) structure, and highlights their robustness in practical problems through topology optimization. These structures, derived from the zero-mean-curvature characteristic of minimal surfaces, exhibit numerous applications including biomedical, aerospace, transportation, construction, etc. This structural group can have a great geometrical variety, indicated by their unlimited combinations of TPMS types (e.g., Primitive, Gyroid, Diamond), solid types (e.g., network-based, sheet-based), and solid variants (e.g., functional grading, hybrid). This project develops a novel data-driven approach based on the mathematical computation and generative inverse design of TPMS structures. This method greatly overcomes the inaccuracy and uncontrollability associated with current meshing methods. Integrating it into finite element analysis (FEA) software, numerous efficient investigations on TPMS structures can enable optimal and inverse designs for TPMS-based structures in various engineering problems such as strength, lightweight, and energy absorption.
