...Naesung Lyu; Kazuhiro Saitou This paper presents a method for synthesizing multicomponent beam structural assemblies with maximum structural performance and manufacturability. The problem is posed as a relaxation of decomposition-based assembly synthesis, where both topology and decomposition...

...Onur L. Cetin; Kazuhiro Saitou An extension of decomposition-based assembly synthesis for structural modularity is presented where the early identification of shareable components within multiple structures is posed as an outcome of the minimization of estimated manufacturing costs...
