Topology optimization has undergone a tremendous development since its introduction in
the seminal paper by Bendsøe and Kikuchi in 1988. By now, the concept is develo** in …

This review paper provides an overview of different level-set methods for structural topology
optimization. Level-set methods can be categorized with respect to the level-set-function …

In this article, we discuss an approach for geometry and topology optimization of structures
which benefits from an accurate description of shapes at each stage of the iterative process …

This study presents a unified formulation of topology optimization for finite strain
elastoplastic materials. As the primal problem to describe the elastoplastic behavior, we …

This work shows that a combined shape and topology optimization method can produce
optimal 2D designs with minimal stress subject to a volume constraint. The method …

We present a method for automatic generation of 3D models based on shape and topology
optimization. The optimization procedure, or model generation process, is initialized by a set …

This paper studies the characteristics and applicability of the CutFEM approach of Burman et
al.(2014) as the core of a robust topology optimization framework for 3D laminar …

Vanadium redox flow battery (VRFB) is a rechargeable battery, which has attracted attention
as a next-generation electrochemical energy storage system. It is widely known that …

In this paper, a novel method is proposed for shape and the topology optimization of shell
structures. A gradient-based shape optimization method and a level set (LS)-based topology …

This paper studies topology optimization of convective heat transfer problems in two and
three dimensions. The convective fluxes are approximated by Newton's Law of Cooling …
