Abstract
This paper uses topology optimization to optimize the layout of discrete objects, such as fixed-shape void, stiffening, or functional inclusions, in structures and periodic materials. The methodology follows a material distribution approach and the Heaviside Projection Method (HPM) is manipulated to ensure that the designed objects are discrete, of fixed size (length scale) and shape, and satisfy minimum spacing requirements. These restrictions...
