Abstract:Structural element shape optimization based on the biological growth method is increasingly used nowadays. This method consists of two main methods: topological optimization (soft kill option—SKO) and shape optimization (computer-aided optimization—CAO). This paper presents the solution procedures for both shape optimization and topological optimization. In applying these methods, first of all, a certain stress norm must be established, where the most appropriate and most used criterion is the equivalent stres… Show more
