A new research paper explores the impact of geometric nonlinearity and temperature-dependent material properties on the design of multi-material thermo-mechanical topology optimization. The study introduces a framework that incorporates a finite-strain constitutive model and accounts for temperature variations in titanium, copper, and steel. Results indicate that the constitutive law is the most critical factor, with designs optimized using full physics exhibiting superior performance and temperature robustness compared to those using simplified linear models.
