Graeme Sabiston publication on additive manufacturing
Congratulations to Graeme for his paper “Void region restriction for additive manufacturing via a diffusion physics approach” in IJNME!
Graeme’s work is intended to increase the manufacturability of components created using topology optimization for additive manufacturing. His methodology works in both two- and three-dimensional problems using a particle swarm technique.

Luke Crispo, Rubens Bohrer, and Stephen Roper Publication
Congratulations to Luke, Rubens, and Stephen on their publication of "Spatial gradient interface detection in topology optimization for an unstructured mesh".
A technique for spatial gradient calculation is developed, using a neighbouring element search strategy. Their method works for 3D unstructured meshes, a versatile approach for FE solvers. Congratulations on your work!

Vlad Florea Publication to IJNME
Congratulations to Vlad Florea for his publication of “Simultaneous single-loop multimaterial and multijoint topology optimization” to IJNME. This is Vlad’s second journal publication, expanding the research topic of multi-joint topology optimization. This paper presents a coupled MMTO-MJTO process with the usage of spatial gradients for material interface detection. Various case studies of this powerful and practical methodology have been presented, exploring the tradeoff between joint costs and structural compliance.
