An optimization algorithm for automatic structural design

We propose a new algorithm to design lightweight and stiff structures exhibiting free-form features, with the aim of minimizing the compliance under a volume inequality constraint. The procedure is based on the coupling of geometric shape optimization with topology optimization. We start from a full...
