プレゼンテーション概要This study deals with designing and prototyping lightweight car seat structures. For designing the car seat structures, we apply a density-based topology optimization method. For prototyping the topologically optimized car seat structures, we take an additive manufacturing approach by laser sintering using polyamide (PA2200) as the base material. 講演者の経歴 (Atsushi Kawamoto)Date/place of birth: 11 June 1969 /Aichi, Japan Research fields: Topology optimization, Nonlinear dynamics Academic society: The Japan Society of Mechanical Engineers (JSME) Award: JSME Design & Systems Achievement Award, 2014 Employment: 1995-present Toyota Central R&D Labs., Inc.
