Optimal topologies derived from a phase-field method

- Abstract in Undetermined
A topology optimization method allowing for perimeter control is presented. The approach is based on a functional that takes the material density and the strain field as arguments. The cost for surfaces is included in the functional that is minimized. Diffuse designs are avoided by introducing a penalty term in the functional that is minimized. Equilibrium and a volume constraint are enforced via a Lagrange multiplier technique. The extremum to the functional is found by use of the Cahn–Hilliard phase-field method. It is shown that the optimization problem is suitable for finite element implementation and the FE-formulation is discussed in detail. In the numerical examples provided, the influence of surface...
