Abstract

This paper presents a topology optimisation approach that combines an adjoint-based sensitivity analysis [1] with level set methods (LSM) [2] for front propagation, and the discontinuous Galerkin (DG) symmetric interior penalty (SIP) method [3]. The problems considered in this paper will be limited to the minimum compliance design of two-dimensional linear elastic structures.
