Topological derivative-based topology optimization of structures subject to multiple load-cases

AbstractThe topological derivative measures the sensitivity of a shape functional with respect to an infinitesimal singular domain perturbation, such as the insertion of holes, inclusions or source-terms. The topological derivative has been successfully applied in obtaining the optimal topology for...
