The course is designed for Ph.D.students and finalyear graduate
students being familiar with the basic concepts of the finite element
Qualified Prerequisites:
method. Knowledge corresponding to a course in FEM as well as Matlab
experience is assumed.
General course objectives:
Handson experience with the method of topology optimization
Learning objectives:
A student who has met the objectives of the course will be able to:
Understand and use existing topology optimization software for stiffness design (88 and 99
line codes)
Modify existing codes to change boundary conditions, loads, design domains, etc.
Understand principles for design sensitivity analysis and derive them for new objective
functions
Implement topology design of compliant mechanisms
Understand the theory behind mathematical programming tools and implement them in
topology optimization software
Understand the newest developments in theoretical aspects of topology optimization methods
Read and understand research papers on topology optimization
Know the historical foundation of the topology optimization method
Understand new applications of topology optimization in academic research and industry
Implement topology design of dynamic problems with harmonic loads
Content:
The course deals with theory and practice of topology design. Topics include:
• Design parametrization (interpolation schemes, composites, etc.)
• Sensitivity analysis (direct and adjoint methods)
• Algorithms (OCmethods, mathematical programming, convex approximation schemes and other
methods)
• Computational issues (checkerboards, filters, robust design, parallelization)
• Applications in structural and multiphysics problems (industrial examples, MicroElectroMechanical
Systems (MEMS), wavepropagation problems)
