  Isogeometric Topology Optimization of Continuum Structures using Evolutionary Algorithms

  By N.S S. Sahithi, K.N.V. Chandrasekhar, T. Muralidhara Rao

  Abstract: Isogeometric analysis is a popular method for the analysis of problems involving complex geometry and governed by differential equations. Meta-heuristics are widely used to determine the optimum distribution of material within the given design domain. The focus of this study is to perform isogeometric topology optimization of continuum structures using meta-heuristics nature inspired firefly algorithm. NURBS basis functions are used to construct the geometric model and to calculate the displacements …
