Enforcing a Force–Displacement Curve of a Nonlinear Structure Using Topology Optimization with Slope Constraints
The objective of this study is to develop an optimization methodology to find a layout that traces a prescribed force–displacement curve through a topology optimization approach. To this end, we propose an objective function to minimize the difference between a prescribed force–displacement curve an...
