Some results in topology optimization applied to biomechanics

This paper presents the application of a topology optimization algorithm based in homogenization theory. Three examples in structural design will be solved numerically. The first two are formulated such that analytical solutions can also be developed. To obtain this goal, the microscopic structure t...
