Revisiting element removal for density-based structural topology optimization with reintroduction by Heaviside projection

We present a strategy grounded in the element removal idea of Bruns and Tortorelli (2003) and aimed at reducing computational cost and circumventing potential numerical instabilities of density-based topology optimization. The design variables and the relative densities are both represented on a fix...
