Abstract

In this contribution we present an overview of our work on a novel approach to topology optimization based on growth processes [1, 2, 3]. A compliance parameter to describe the spatial distribution of mass is introduced. It serves as an internal variable for which an associated evolution equation is derived using Hamilton’s principle. The well-known problem of checkerboarding is faced with energy regularization techniques. Numerical examples are given for demonstration purposes.
