Locally tuning the compliance of a structure by acting on its contiguous bodies: an adjoint method-based topology optimization approach
Please login to view abstract download link
The classical formulation of topology optimization (TO) arranges the material in the same domain where both the objective function and constraints are evaluated on (single-domain TO). However, there are scenarios in which single-domain TO cannot be employed: the aim of this work is to provide a new methodological approach to tune the compliance of a “target” body, by optimizing the material distribution on its contiguous “design” bodies
