Abstract: This paper explores implementation of self-weight and inertial loading in topology optimization (TO) employing the Simulated Annealing (SA) algorithm as a non-gradient-based technique. This method can be applied to find optimum design of structures with no need for gradient information. To enhance the convergence of the SA algorithm, a novel approach incorporating the crystallization factor is introduced. The method is applied in a benchmark problem of a cantilever beam. The study systematically examines multi… Show more
