Abstract
In this chapter we present an overview of the basic ingredients of the so-called homogenization method for finding the optimum layout of a linearly elastic structure. In this context the “layout” of the structure includes information on the topology, shape and sizing of the structure and the homogenization method allows for addressing all three problems simultaneously.
