Abstract

The aim of this work is to present a continuos mathematical model that characterizes and enforces connectivity in a topology optimization problem. That goal is accomplished by constraining the second eigenvalue of an auxiliary eigenproblem, solved together with the governing state law in each step of the iterative process. Our density-based approach is illustrated with 2d and 3d numerical examples in the context of structural design.
