Architected materials are computationally characterized by the reduction of the boundary value problem to a single replicated unit cell, with consideration of generalized periodicity conditions instead of boundary conditions within a finite element framework. The unit cells are typically orthogonal, which restricts the feasible space of periodic topologies.
The project will focus on the formulation and implementation of oblique unit cells for the computational design of mechanical architected materials, and the comparison against traditional orthogonal approaches.

Cartesian Spline functional spaces are widely used to approximate the solutions of PDE that require smooth state variables, as well as to interpolate level-set functions for smooth geometry description. However, the intrinsic anisotropy of such functional spaces may result in undesirable numerical oscillations that limit the practical applicability of such frameworks.
The project will focus on the development and implementation of Hexagonal Spline functional spaces, and the comparison against Cartesian ones for different applications in computational mechanics.
