Abstract

A multiresolution topology optimization approach is proposed using the p-version finite element method (p-version FEM). Traditional topology optimization, where a density design variable is assigned to each element, is suitable for low-order h-version FEM. However, it cannot take advantage of the higher accuracy of higher-order p-version FEM analysis for generating results with higher resolution. In contrast, the proposed method separates density variables and finite elements so that the resolution of the density field, which defines the structure, can be higher than that of the finite element mesh. Thus, the method can take full advantage of the higher accuracy of p-version FEM.
