Abstract

The form of topological derivative (TD) in three-dimensional (3D) elasticity is derived for an arbitrary shape functional. TD is used for numerical solution of shape optimization problems in structural mechanics in the framework of the so-called bubble method, as well as for numerical solution of shape inverse problems. * Communicated by K.K. Choi.
