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.

Interval uncertain method for multibody mechanical systems using Chebyshev inclusion functions

TL;DR: In this article, a Chebyshev inclusion function based on the truncated Chebyhev series is proposed to achieve sharper and tighter bounds for meaningful solutions of interval functions, to effectively handle the overestimation caused by the wrapping effect, intrinsic to interval computations.

Generating optimal topologies in structural design using a homogenization method

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a methodology for optimal shape design based on homogenization, which is related to modern production techniques and consists of computing the optimal distribution in space of an anisotropic material that is constructed by introducing an infimum of periodically distributed small holes in a given homogeneous, i.i.

The method of moving asymptotes—a new method for structural optimization

TL;DR: In this article, a new method for non-linear programming in general and structural optimization in particular is presented, in which a strictly convex approximating subproblem is generated and solved.

Optimal shape design as a material distribution problem

TL;DR: In this article, various ways of removing this discrete nature of the problem by the introduction of a density function that is a continuous design variable are described. But none of these methods can be used for shape optimization in a general setting.

A level set method for structural topology optimization

TL;DR: A new approach to structural topology optimization that represents the structural boundary by a level set model that is embedded in a scalar function of a higher dimension that demonstrates outstanding flexibility of handling topological changes, fidelity of boundary representation and degree of automation.

Structural optimization using sensitivity analysis and a level-set method

TL;DR: A new numerical method based on a combination of the classical shape derivative and of the level-set method for front propagation, which can easily handle topology changes and is strongly dependent on the initial guess.
