| description | This review paper focuses on Fiber-Reinforced Topology Optimization (FRTO) methods for automated manufacturing techniques, addressing topology and morphology optimization. Accordingly, the review introduces the main TO techniques and the common reinforcement path design strategies using concurrent and sequential optimization approaches. Furthermore, this paper examines the potential transformation of the conventional role of TO algorithms in structural optimization by integrating Artificial Intelligence (AI) into the optimization process [1]. We collected and categorized the most relevant papers from the past decade in the field of FRTO; comparisons were made based on appropriate metrics, including algorithm types, effectiveness, and validation environment. We emphasize practical considerations such as manufacturing constraints and algorithmic efficiency, addressing real-world usability aspects [2]. The analysis underscores the necessity for universally applicable benchmark methods and standardization to facilitate direct comparisons among various methodologies [3]. The main conclusions of the paper highlight the emerging trends in research, the potential of fiber-reinforced polymer composites designed by FRTO, the challenges facing the field, and the efficiency improvements and synergy with AI, indicating an evolving role for TO in structural optimization. |
