Anahita Habibian et al.

Summary: This study proposes an approach for solving density-based multi-material topology optimization of cracked structures using Peridynamics, which transforms the multi-material problem into a series of binary phase topology optimization sub-problems using the alternating active-phase algorithm. The Solid Isotropic Material with Penalty (SIMP) method is utilized to define material properties, and the optimization problem is solved through the Optimality Criteria (OC) approach. The efficiency of the proposed approach is verified through numerical examples.

Robust topology optimization of multi-material structures under load uncertainty using the alternating active-phase method

Xingjun Gao et al.

Summary: This paper proposes an efficient method for robust multimaterial topology optimization problems of continuum structures under load uncertainty. The method minimizes the weighted sum of the mean and standard deviation of structural compliance for each material phase, separates the Monte Carlo sampling from the topology optimization procedure, and establishes an efficient procedure for sensitivity analysis. By using an alternating active-phase algorithm of the Gauss-Seidel version, the multi-material topology optimization problem is split into a series of binary topology optimization sub-problems, leading to the demonstration of the effectiveness of the proposed method through several 2D examples.
