Large-scale buckling-constrained topology optimization based on assembly-free finite element analysis

In this article, we propose a fast method to solve large-scale three-dimensional topology optimization problems subject to buckling constraints. Buckling analysis entails the solution of a generalized eigenvalue problem. For problems with large degrees of freedom, the current numerical methods tend...
