In this study we apply a modified optimality criteria method to density-based topology optimization analysis in static problems. The modified optimality criteria method was developed based on Newton's method and the optimality criteria method. Unlike the optimality criteria method, the modified optimality criteria method does not require the setting of weighting factors. We show the results of the respective density distributions obtained by the optimality criteria method and the modified optimality criteria method for a cantilever beam model. Finally, using the optimization of an automotive part, we demonstrate the industrial applicability of the modified optimality criteria method.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
