Topology optimization considering self-weight
(2023-11-10)
In civil engineering self-weight loading usually represents the preponderant load case and shall therefore be considered in structural optimization. The present study investigates numerical topology optimization of structural stiffness with a bound on disposable amount of material. A customized topology optimization routine based on Sequential Quadratic Programming was built and is examined by means of known benchmark problems complemented by consideration of self-weight. This study aims to highlight the relevance ...
