A 99 line topology optimization code written in Matlab

TL;DR: It is shown that only 49 Matlab input lines are required for solving a well-posed topology optimization problem and by adding three additional lines, the program can solve problems with multiple load cases.

A survey of structural and multidisciplinary continuum topology optimization: post 2000

TL;DR: Topology optimization is the process of determining the optimal layout of material and connectivity inside a design domain this paper, which is the same as the problem of finding the optimal configuration of a set of components.

Structural Boundary Design via Level Set and Immersed Interface Methods

TL;DR: An algorithmic approach to the boundary design of elastic structures which allows one to rapidly solve the two-dimensional Lam� equations in arbitrary domains and compute, for example, the stresses, and to develop a systematic way of modifying the design to optimize chosen properties.
