Recent developments in multi-scale and non-linear topology optimization problems
Recent developments in multi-scale and non-linear topology optimization problems By Ole Sigmund, Villum Investigator, Dept. of Mechanical Engineering, Technical University of Denmark Topology optimization was introduced as a multi-scale approach in the seminal paper by Bendsøe and Kikuchi from 1988. However, simpler isotropic density interpolation schemes soon substituted the original homogenization-based approach. With advances in additive manufacturing technologies that may realize complex lattice and infill structures, needs...
