Abstract

This paper deals with basic concepts, methods and applications of continuum structural topology optimization. The three elements that are geometric modelling, analysis methods and optimization techniques which form the backbone of topology optimization are explained. Various approaches to perform topology optimization are also presented. The concepts are explained in an intuitive way such that new researchers can learn steeply and expand their knowledge by going through vast literature on this exciting research area.
