Comparative Study of Peridynamics and Finite Element Method for Practical Modeling of Cracks in Topology Optimization

Recently, topology optimization of structures with cracks becomes an important topic for avoiding manufacturing defects at the design stage. This paper presents a comprehensive comparative study of peridynamics-based topology optimization method (PD-TO) and classical finite element topology optimiza...
