Optimal shape and topology of multi-material microstructures in min-max stress design problems

The present dissertation seeks to optimize the unit cell of a two-dimensional cellular material, pursuing the minimization of the peak equivalent stress in the microstructure. This class of materials is particularly relevant to the design of lightweight structures. By minimizing the peak stress in t...
