Content
In this course, students will autonomously investigate recent research in topology optimization. Independent investigation for further reading, as well as a critical analysis and evaluation of the topic are required. Finally, the attendants have to present their results in a talk. Talks will be given in English. Supplementary, a short written workout and critical assessment should be prepared. The presentation should be accompanied by a demonstration.
Topology optimization (TO) is a powerful computational framework for discovering optimal structures, shapes, and material distributions under prescribed physical constraints. Originally developed in the field of structural mechanics, it has evolved into a multidisciplinary research area with applications in engineering, architecture, design automation, computer graphics, and materials science.
Prerequisites:
No prior knowledge of mechanics or engineering is required. A basic background in numerical methods, linear algebra, or geometry processing will be helpful but is not mandatory.
