Generating optimal topologies in structural design using a homogenization method

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a methodology for optimal shape design based on homogenization, which is related to modern production techniques and consists of computing the optimal distribution in space of an anisotropic material that is constructed by introducing an infimum of periodically distributed small holes in a given homogeneous, i.i.

Optimal shape design as a material distribution problem

TL;DR: In this article, various ways of removing this discrete nature of the problem by the introduction of a density function that is a continuous design variable are described. But none of these methods can be used for shape optimization in a general setting.

A simple evolutionary procedure for structural optimization

TL;DR: In this paper, a simple evolutionary procedure is proposed for shape and layout optimization of structures, where low stressed material is progressively eliminated from the structure during the evolution process, and various examples are presented to illustrate the optimum structural shapes and layouts achieved by this procedure.

A 99 line topology optimization code written in Matlab

TL;DR: It is shown that only 49 Matlab input lines are required for solving a well-posed topology optimization problem and by adding three additional lines, the program can solve problems with multiple load cases.
