Advanced Design Science and Engineering Lab
Machine-translated · View original
A lab that uses optimization computation to draw out the forms of products that do not yet exist.
AboutAbout the lab
Toward manufacturing for a richer society.
The Advanced Design Science and Engineering Lab conducts research to create innovative, highly functional products that have never existed before.
Its subject is mechanical design in a broad sense, that is, science and engineering covering everything from conceptual design to production.
It focuses in particular on structural optimization, especially shape optimization and topology optimization.
The lab also studies the optimization of structures and systems involving multiple coupled physical phenomena, as well as development and production systems.
Key terms
- Topology optimization
- The most flexible optimal design method, which can change even the topology of a structure, such as the number of holes
- Compliant mechanism
- A mechanism that produces motion through the flexing of the material itself, without using joints
- Dielectric resonator antenna
- A compact, highly efficient antenna made of dielectric material

Centered on optimal design methods, especially structural optimization, the lab builds methodologies for generating the forms of structures with unprecedented functions and high performance. These methods have been applied to a wide range of targets, from mechanical parts to medical components, MEMS, and antennas.
*Illustrative imageGenerating forms with topology optimization
Based on topology optimization, the lab builds methodologies for generating the forms of structures with unprecedented functions and high performance.
*Illustrative imageBuilding mechanisms that move by flexing
A compliant mechanism is a new kind of mechanism that gives flexibility to appropriate parts of a structure so that the structure as a whole performs the function of a mechanism. Applications to medical components and MEMS are also being explored.
*Illustrative imageDesigning antennas that handle radio waves
Dielectric resonator antennas are attracting attention as compact, highly efficient antennas. The lab works on design that seeks optimal structures. This is joint research with Toyota Central R&D Labs and Kitami Institute of Technology.
