A Topology Optimization Method for Geometrically Nonlinear Problems Incorporating Level Set Boundary Expressions and a Particle Method

Structural topology optimization has been applied to nonlinear structural problems, but conventional methods considering geometrical nonlinearity encounter difficulties during nonlinear analysis using the FEM (Finite Element Method). In this study, we propose a new level set-based topology optimizat...
