A geometric approach for controlling local overheating in topology optimization for additive manufacturing

Additive manufacturing (AM) has revolutionized part manufacturing, offering unprecedented design freedom and the ability to fabricate intricate structures. Computational design methods like topology optimization (TO) effectively capitalize on AM's design freedom. However, manufacturability constraints must be considered to ensure reliable...

Validation and optimization of Patient-specific orthopedic plate design for proximal femur fixation in slipped capital femoral epiphysis patients

Slipped capital femoral epiphysis (SCFE) is a condition in adolescents affecting the proximal femur. Increased mechanical forces result in fracture of the growth plate. Factors increasing the mechanical forces include for example obesity and endocrine disorders. As a result of the fracture a shift of the bone shaft towards the femur head occurs,...
