Stiffness optimization of geometrically nonlinear structures and the level set based solution

Load-normalized strain energy increments between consecutive load steps are aggregated through the Kreisselmeier-Steinhauser (KS) function, and the KS function is proposed as a stiffness criterion of geometrically nonlinear structures. A topology optimization problem is defined to minimize the KS fu...
