Topology Optimization of Fatigue-Constrained Structures

Fatigue, or failure of material due to repeated cyclic loading, is one of the most common causes of mechanical failures. The risk of fatigue in a load carrying component is often lowered by adding material, thereby reducing stresses. This increases the component weight, reducing the performance of t...
