Conceptual design using multilevel continuum structural topology optimization

Continuum topology optimization is a mathematical/computational method to find optimal conceptual structural designs for given loads and boundary conditions. To provide realistic design solutions for structures such as long-span bridges, the method must deal with sparse structures on large, finely m...
