Abstract
Topology optimization is a well-suited method to establish the best material distribution inside an analysis domain. It is common to observe some numerical instabilities in its gradient-based version, such as the checkerboard pattern, mesh dependence, and local minima. This research demonstrates the generalized finite-volume theory's checkerboard-free property by performing topology optimization algorithms without filtering techniques. The...
