Variable-topology shape optimization of linear elastic structures

Abstract

dc:description

Significant performance improvements can be obtained if the topology of an elastic structure is allowed to vary in shape optimization problems. We study the optimal shape design of a two-dimensional elastic continuum for minimum compliance subject to a constraint on the total volume of material without any restrictions on the design topology.
