Density-based shape optimization of 3D structures with mean curvature constraints

Ronald Bartz et al.

Summary: This paper presents a density-based shape optimization method using an interface motion scheme. The aim is to generate optimal material distributions with high-quality interfaces for topology and shape optimization. By using a density function, the method can seamlessly adopt density-based topology optimization results as the initial design, and also introduce a constraint for surface curvature.

Local versus global stress constraint strategies in topology optimization: A comparative study

Gustavo Assis da Silva et al.

Summary: This research compares local and global stress constraint strategies in topology optimization and finds that local strategies are less sensitive to the continuation procedure, leading to better quality results with fewer iterations compared to global strategies. It is also discovered that global strategies become competitive when using P values larger than 100, but require a slow continuation procedure. The local strategies based on the augmented Lagrangian method provide the best compromise between computational cost and performance.

Coupled topology and shape optimization using an embedding domain discretization method

Gabriel Stankiewicz et al.

Summary: In this work, density-based topology optimization and node-based shape optimization are combined into a single optimization problem using an embedding domain discretization technique. The use of a variable pseudo-density field allows for the design of fine-tuned structures without predefined topological features. Through this approach, the advantages of both topology and shape optimization methods are brought together to provide an efficient way to generate production-ready designs.
