  Masters Research Project. Advisor: Dr. John Strenkowski Topology Optimization for Minimum Weight Using A Streamline Based Approach - Developed a new technique to obtain reduced weight optimal topologies having a higher strength to weight ratio than the original structure using a stream trace-based approach. - Analyzed principal stresses, stress trajectories, slip lines and load paths using TECPLOT 360 to develop this method. - Reduced up to 40% weight in components such as beams… Show more Masters Research Project. Advisor: Dr. John Strenkowski Topology Optimization for Minimum Weight Using A Streamline Based Approach - Developed a new technique to obtain reduced weight optimal topologies having a higher strength to weight ratio than the original structure using a stream trace-based approach. - Analyzed principal stresses, stress trajectories, slip lines and load paths using TECPLOT 360 to develop this method. - Reduced up to 40% weight in components such as beams, brackets, plates and similar other components. - The new method developed will significantly reduce the time required by the engineer to design a component with lesser weight.
