Topology Optimization Using Parabolic Aggregation Function with Independent-Continuous-Mapping Method

This paper concentrates on finding the optimal distribution for continuum structure such that the structural weight with stress constraints is minimized where the physical design domain is discretized by finite elements. A novel Independent-Continuous-Mapping (ICM) method is proposed to convert equi...
