We introduce an extension of current technologies for topology optimization of continuum structures which allows for treating local stress criteria. We ΓΏrst consider relevant stress criteria for porous composite materials, initially by studying the stress states of the so-called rank 2 layered mater

## Abstract The application of the element densityβbased topology optimization method to nonlinear continuum structures is limited to relatively simple problems such as bilinear elastoplastic material problems. Furthermore, it is very difficult to use analytic sensitivity when a commercial nonlinea
A performance-based optimization (PBO) method for optimal topology design of linear elastic continuum structures with mean compliance constraints is presented in this paper. The performance-based design concept is incorporated in continuum topology optimization, which is treated as the problem of im
