  • Abstract
    Using topology optimization this paper explores alternative configurations of pressure-based active fasteners. The 2D and 3D optimization problem is solved for a snap-fit like design. A detailed finite element verification is conducted, the theoretical designs are translated into producible components and preliminary concepts how to manufacture the designs are presented.
