Abstract
Digital twin, a replicate of a real physical system in a cyber space, has become a key technology to support engineering decisions in analysis, design, and management. Compared with conventional computer-aided engineering (CAE) models, a digital twin model is characterized with proactive control and management of a real system in response to the changes in environments (i.e., temperature) and operations (i.e., degradation). These characteristics are namely 'adaptation' and 'evolution', respectively. The prerequisite of the characteristics is the validation of a digital twin model under the uncertainty in environmental and operational conditions. This talk covers the framework of optimization-based statistical model validation (OSMV) comprehensively, aiming to improve the prediction accuracy of digital twin models. This study considers three classes of the digital twin models as: (a) whitebox model (or physics-based model), 2) blackbox model (or data-driven model), and 3) greybox model (physics+data-driven model). Some case studies will be presented to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed OSMV framework. |

Abstract
Additive manufacturing (AM) has significantly more design freedom than traditional manufacturing methods, providing opportunities for better performance and lower weight. However, there are a number of challenges in the use of AM, such as time, cost, support structures, interior void regions, and parts division (or consolidation). The keynote presentation will show the state-of-the-art in DfAM (Design for Additive Manufacturing) based on advanced multi-disciplinary topology optimization, and discuss future direction. Practical DfAM projects in the industry will be presented. |

Local warping deformation is one of the key factors leading to structural damages and functional failures.
The purpose of this work is to demonstrate a shape preserving topology optimization design approach to suppress the warping deformation of structural local domains. As structural deformation consists of rigid body motion and warping deformation, we propose using the elastic strain energy of the local domain to measure the warping deformation. Constraint on the local strain energy is then introduced into a standard compliance based topology optimization to obtain the shape preserving effect. Moreover, in the cases of shape preserving for multiple key points and cavities, i.e. when the local strain energies are unavailable, the idea of Artificial Weak Element (AWE) is introduced to measure and constrain the local warping deformation.Then the shape preserving optimization is extended to arrive at the desired deformation behavior within local structural domains by distinguishing and suppressing specific deformation in a certain direction. Compared to the standard shape preserving design, particular orthotropic material properties are defined for the AWE according to the given direction of the desired deformation, which formulate Orthotropic Artificial Weak Elements (AWEort). By introducing the constraint on the strain energy of the AWEort into a standard compliance based topology optimization, the deformation in the corresponding direction is suppressed, resulting in the desired deformation behavior. This work further extends the shape preserving design approach from linear load cases into geometrically nonlinear problems. Based on an integrated deformation energy function, an improved warpage formulation is proposed to measure the geometrical distortion during large deformations. Structural complementary elastic work is assigned as the objective function. The average distortion calculated as the integrated deformation energy accumulated in the incremental loading process is accordingly constrained to obtain warpage control. In the numerical implementation, an energy interpolation scheme is utilized to alleviate numerical instability in low stiffness regions. |

Abstract
A ``lattice structure,'' which is a geometry with inner air holes, is a characteristic geometry realized using additive manufacturing (AM). An advantage of the AM lattice structure is variable lattice shape and performance depending on the location like functionally graded material. Since the original concept of topology optimization (TO) is a volume fraction distribution optimization of composites comprising a material and air, basic TO algorithms can be easily applied to lattice density distribution optimization. This key note lecture will discuss the overview of the basic lattice distribution optimization methodology and its recent applications for designing functional structures including the speaker’s works, optimization of liquid cooling structure and minimization of thermal distortion of metal AM process. |
