Various techniques have been developed for topology op miza on, for example, the solid
isotropic material with penaliza on (SIMP) method [2] and the evolu onary structural
op miza on (ESO) method [3] and its improved version – the bi-direc onal evolu onary
structural op miza on (BESO) method [4]. We choose the BESO method for our work for
the following reasons. First, without needing calcula ng sensi vi es, the BESO is much
easier to implement and can be easily adapted to a wide range of problems. Second,
engineers only care whether the design can be improved, but do not care whether the
solu on is op mal or has rigorous mathema cal founda on. We refer to the review of [5]
for a discussion on the merits of exis ng topology op miza on methods.

using a ques on mark in a paper’s tle reduces the cita ons
using a colon tended to improve the cita ons

Although some good results were obtained, there are many issues worthy of further inves ga on.
First, we have limited our discussion to… Second, only explicit me integra on was considered due to its
computa onal simplicity. This limits GPIC to fast transient dynamics problems. Third, we did not
consider … We are working on some of these issues.

How to write a paragraph: ow
In the phase- eld modeling of fracture in bri le and quasi- bri le solids, it is crucial to represent
the asymmetric tensile/compressive material behavior. Exis ng phase- eld models generally
adopt an intui ve split of the free energy density without capturing the crack boundary
condi ons properly or an ad hoc hybrid formula on at the loss of varia onal consistency. To
address this issue, this work presents a varia onally consistent phase- eld anisotropic damage
model.
In the phase- eld modeling of fracture in bri le and quasi- bri le solids, it is crucial to
represent the asymmetric tensile/compressive material behavior: fracture does not occur in
domains under compression. To capture this asymmetric behavior, previous phase- eld
models generally adopt either an intui ve split of the free energy density without capturing the
crack boundary condi ons properly ... This work presents a phase- eld anisotropic model that is
able to capture the asymmetric behavior, varia onally consistent and sa sfy crack boundary
condi ons.

How to write a paragraph: ow
Security proofs of cryptographic protocols are crucial for the security of everyday
electronic communica on. However, these proofs tend to be complex and di cult to
get right. To make it easier to manage such proofs, Jones et al. have proposed a new
design principle, called the game-playing technique. This technique follows a code-
based approach where the security proper es are formulated in therms of
probabilis c programs, called games.

How to write a paragraph: original version
The material point method (MPM) is a par cle-grid method suitable for solving large
deforma ons of complicated geometries. A tradi onal MPM implementa on treats each
par cle as a lumped mass. The generalized interpola on material point (GIMP) method is a
generaliza on of the MPM that accounts for finite spa al extent occupied by each par cle.
MPM and GIMP have been successfully used in simula on of a range of complicated
engineering problems… In MPM, the material domain is represented by a set of material points
or par cles and uses a mixed Eulerian–Lagrangian method in which Lagrangian par cles carry
history-dependent state data and an Eulerian background grid is used for calcula on of
deriva ves and solving the momentum equa on. In summary, the MPM has the advantages of
both Eulerian and Lagrangian formula ons. Another interes ng feature of tradi onal MPM is
that this method enforces no-slip contact between bodies automa cally without any further
computa onal costs. However, the MPM su ers from a ‘cell crossing instability’ for problems
involving large displacements. This instability occurs whenever par cles cross boundaries of any
cell in the computa onal background grid and is due to the lack of smoothness of the grid basis
func ons used as the interpola on and mapping func ons in the MPM. By introducing
weigh ng func ons and gradient …, the GIMP is capable of reducing these errors and improving
accuracy [3]. These func ons, which can be interpreted as averages of the basis func on and its
gradient over the par cle domain, are used for mapping and interpola ng data between
par cles and grid nodes as well as calcula ng internal and external forces.

Parallel structures: Mar n Luther King's "I Have a Dream"
I have a dream that one day this na on will rise up and live out the true meaning of
its creed: "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal."
I have a dream that one day on the red hills of Georgia, the sons of former slaves and
the sons of former slave owners will be able to sit down together at the table of
brotherhood.
I have a dream that one day even the state of Mississippi, a state sweltering with the
heat of injus ce, sweltering with the heat of oppression, will be transformed into an
oasis of freedom and jus ce.
I have a dream that my four li le children will one day live in a na on where they will
not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.
I have a dream today! . . .

The tensile membrane structures are widely used for lightweight and long-span roofs.
These structures are de ned as a combina on of tensioned fabric membrane and
suppor ng elements such as rigid structural frame or exible cables (Gale and Lewis,
2016). The fabric membrane uses the pre-stress of tension and its shape to resist the
external loading, while the suppor ng elements are compressed and bent by the
tension in membrane. The design process of these structures involves three steps as
form nding, load analysis and cu ng pa ern genera on. The rst step is to nd the
shape of structures in which the prescribed pre-stress are in equilibrium with a given
boundary condi on, while the second step inves gates the behavior of [the] fabric
membrane and suppor ng elements under service loads. The shapes obtained by
[the] form nding process are usually in doubly curved surface, so they cannot be
a ened into plane without distor ng. In addi on, the fabric membrane itself is
manufactured in plane panels of 1-5m widths (Ishii, 1999). As a result, a specialist
design process, third step of cu ng pa ern, have to be conducted.
