The evolutionary structural optimization (ESO) method developed by Xie and Steven
(Comput Struct 49 (5): 885–896, 162), an important branch of topology optimization, has …

This work proposes an improved method for gradient-based topology optimization in a
discrete setting of design variables. The method combines the features of BESO developed …

This paper presents a concurrent topology optimization methodology for minimizing the
frequency responses of multiscale systems composed of macro and micro phases. Although …

A current challenge for the structural topology optimization methods is the development of
trustful techniques to account for different physics interactions. This paper devises a …

Apart from mechanical actions, structural components in the construction industry may be
subjected to a thermal gradient, causing (internally) restrained thermal expansion. These …

This study revisits the application of density-based topology optimization to fluid-structure-
interaction problems. The Navier-Cauchy and Navier-Stokes equations are discretized using …

In a topology optimization (TO) setting, design-dependent fluidic pressure loads pose
several challenges as their direction, magnitude, and location alter with topology evolution …

This paper aims to extend the evolutionary methods of topology optimization to free vibration
problems of acoustic–structure systems. The interacting fluid and structure fields are …

A few level-set topology optimization (LSTO) methods have been proposed to address
complex fluid-structure interaction. Most of them did not explore benchmark fluid pressure …

This paper addresses the topology optimization of fluid–structure interaction (FSI) systems
considering large displacements. We consider the steady-state analysis of flexible structures …
