Structural Design with Self-Weight and Inertial Loading Using Simulated Annealing for Non-Gradient Topology Optimization

This paper explores implementation of self-weight and inertial loading in topology optimization (TO) employing the Simulated Annealing (SA) algorithm as a non-gradient-based technique. This method can be applied to find optimum design of structures with no need for gradient information. To enhance t...
