Topology Optimization

Topology optimization is finding the optimum material layout that satisfies some pre-defined requirement, e.g.: Compliance problem: Minimization of strain energy (equivalent to maximizing the stiffness of the structure), given volume constraint; or Stress-constrained problem: Minimization of weight without exceeding stress limit at any points. Material design: Maximization (or minimization) of a specified homogenized property, even … Read more
