| description | This research is based on a design process flow, which deals with the improvement of the current way of using computer based topology and shape optimization techniques. The objective is to integrate Topology and Shape optimization with the numerical optimization techniques in order to obtain superior designs. To this purpose an improved design process is introduced to overcome the limitations of the current trend in design. The effectiveness of the proposed design process is evaluated through a design problem in which a selected automotive component is chosen to be optimized for weight and stiffness. It is seen that following the proposed approach in design can result in better solutions thanks to the invaluable gradient information that the numerical optimization part of the design process provides. |
