Abstract:Topology optimization approaches are commonly used for design problems involving physical phenomena related to solid mechanics, acoustics, electromagnetism, fluid mechanics, and combinations thereof. In computational models of these physical phenomena, the field variables are commonly approximated using spatial discretizations within the domain using the Finite Element Method. Even for topology design problems in which the field variables must only satisfy linear state equations, the storage and solution of th… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
