ENGR 5016G - Advanced Topology Optimization

This course covers the theoretical and technological aspects of Topology Optimization (TO) in the advanced engineering design process, with a focus on the details of the Evolutionary Topology Optimization techniques for continuum structures with applications in design of mechanical parts and components. The goal of TO is to achieve the best performance for the product while satisfying various constraints such as the given amount of material, weight, manufacturing requirement, cost, etc. The evolutionary TO techniques covered in the course are based on Finite Element Analysis where the design domain is discretized into a fine mesh of elements. The course is designed to allow the students to comprehend the latest technical literature in the area of topology optimization and develop systems and algorithms for practical applications. It is aimed to provide the students with advanced design, analysis, implementation methods, and concepts to develop, study, and performance improvement of the topology optimization methodologies and applications.
