The topological derivative and its applications to fracture-based analysis and design
This thesis discusses the topological derivative and its application to fracture-based analysis and design. The topological derivative describes the variation of a response functional with respect to infinitesimal changes in topology, such as the introduction of an infinitesimal crack or hole. In a …

Topics in structural topology optimization
… reliability-based topology optimization and the topological derivative. We first perform reliability-based topology optimization by combining reliability analysis and material distribution topology design methods to design linear elastic structures subject to random loadings. Both component …
