Al~aet--An efficient technique that examines the optimum shape of elastic continuum structures is prc~nted. The total number of stiffness matrix inversions required to obtain the optimal shape was significantly reduced as a result of using a newly developed iterative and approximate algorithm. The n

The topological optimization of components to maximize crash energy absorption for a given volume is considered. The crash analysis is performed using a DYNA3D finite element analysis. The original solid elements are replaced by ones with holes, the hole size being characterized by a so-called densi
The issue of finding feasible mixture designs is formulated and solved as a Lipschitzian global optimization problem. The solution algorithm is based on a simplicial partition strategy. Implementation aspects and extension possibilities are treated in some detail, providing also numerical examples.
