Advances in computational design and optimization with application to MEMS

SUMMARY In this paper, we will highlight the current research which employs the topology optimization to extensional transducers, and porous material microstructures with unusual thermoelastic properties. These examples demonstrate that the topology optimization problem involving multiple physics domain is a viable direction for future research, in particular, for sensor and actuator design.
