Abstract

The perimeter method for variable-topology shape optimization enforces an upper-bound constraint on the perimeter of the solid part of the structure. The perimeter constraint ensures a well-posed design problem and allows the designer to control the number of holes in the optimal design and to establish their characteristic length scale. Thus single-step procedures for topology design and detailed shape design are possible.
