Abstract

Homogenization-based approach to structural optimization and Free Material Design (FMD) technique are discussed in case of isotropy. The problem is elaborated from the perspective provided by: (i) the theory of composites and (ii) Isotropic Material Design (IMD) – a variant of FMD. Results provided by IMD are interpreted in light of the Hashin-Shtrikman bounds on the effective isotropic properties of material-void mixtures. This in turn provides practical guidelines for 3D printing.

Keywords:

Hashin-Shtrikman bounds, Free Material Design, 3D printing
