Topology optimization of rigid interlocking assemblies

This paper presents a new density-based topology optimization algorithm for the design of constructible rigid interlocking assemblies with multiple components. The multiple components or structural parts are introduced by having multiple sets of design variables: one for each component. These are fi...
