An improved proportional topology optimization method combining a polarized material interpolation scheme and Heaviside threshold function

An improved proportional topology optimization (IPTO) method is proposed in this work. The main improvement of this method is that the conventional solid isotropic material with penalization (SIMP)-based material interpolation scheme is replaced by a polarized material interpolation scheme, and the...
