Evolutionary topology optimization of continuum structures considering fatigue failure

A simplified topology optimization was developed to prevent fatigue failure in this paper. It is based on the bi-directional evolutionary structural optimization (BESO) approach where the modified Goodman fatigue failure criterion was applied directly in the sensitivity analysis. The high-cycle fati...
