Finite Element Analysis and Topology Optimization for compliant gripper design with thermally-activated Shape Memory Polymers (SMP). It has following features:
- Implemented thermo-visco-inelastic constitutive model for SMP.
- SMP is bi-phasic with each phase modelled viscoelastically
- Transient adjoint sensitivity analysis
- High Performance Computing (PETSc, Eigen, C++, MPI)
