A Comprehensive Review of Isogeometric Topology Optimization: Methods, Applications and Prospects

Abstract Topology Optimization (TO) is a powerful numerical technique to determine the optimal material layout in a design domain, which has accepted considerable developments in recent years. The classic Finite Element Method (FEM) is applied to compute the unknown structural responses in TO. Howev...
