... information is practical for patent devices with complex structures. We found that spatial density is vital in extracting the relevant subregions. Therefore, we leveraged this property by incorporating density-based clustering to enrich the training dataset. We also proposed a feature fusion mechanism...

...Kai Liu; Tong Wu; Duane Detwiler; Jitesh Panchal; Andres Tovar This work introduces a cluster-based structural optimization (CBSO) method for the design of categorical multimaterial structures subjected to crushing, dynamic loading. The proposed method consists of three steps: conceptual design...

.... The infinite dimension of microstructure is reduced by clustering SVEs into bins defined by common microstructure attributes, with each bin containing a different apparent property random field. We additionally mitigate the computational burden in this strategy by presenting an algorithm that minimizes...
