This project will establish an effective and efficient computational framework for the topological optimisation of composites whose constituent phases possess significantly different Poisson ratios. In particular, the proposed research will be focused on exploiting the dramatic improvements in functional properties of composites when the Poisson ratio of one of the constituent phases is either negative or near its incompressibility limit. The expected outcomes will be a new methodology and an advanced engineering design tool that can be used for the development of a new class of composites with exceptional properties. Such new composite systems will have many potential applications, particularly in aerospace, defence and medical industries.

该项目将建立一个有效的和高效的计算框架的复合材料的拓扑优化，其组成相具有显着不同的泊松比。特别是，拟议的研究将集中在利用复合材料的功能特性的显着改善时，组成相之一的泊松比是负的或接近其不可压缩性极限。预期成果将是一种新的方法和先进的工程设计工具，可用于开发具有特殊性能的新型复合材料。这种新的复合材料系统将有许多潜在的应用，特别是在航空航天，国防和医疗工业。
