Multi-material topology optimization considering isotropic and anisotropic materials combination

Multi-material topology optimization that is based on homogenization schemes has evolved from the conventional optimization methods to the general multi-material solution methodology. While the former interpolation schemes restrict the solution to the isotropic material with constant Poisson’s ratio, the latter generalizes the application to both isotropic and anisotropic materials, as well as a combination of them. Within density-based …
