A survey of structural and multidisciplinary continuum topology optimization: post 2000
TL;DR: Topology optimization is the process of determining the optimal layout of material and connectivity inside a design domain this paper, which is the same as the problem of finding the optimal configuration of a set of components.

Abstract: Topology optimization is the process of determining the optimal layout of material and connectivity inside a design domain. This paper surveys topology optimization of continuum structures from the year 2000 to 2012. It focuses on new developments, improvements, and applications of finite element-based topology optimization, which include a maturation of classical methods, a broadening in the scope of the field, and the introduction of new methods for multiphysics problems. Four different types of topology optimization are reviewed: (1) density-based methods, which include the popular Solid Isotropic Material with Penalization (SIMP) technique, (2) hard-kill methods, including Evolutionary Structural Optimization (ESO), (3) boundary variation methods (level set and phase field), and (4) a new biologically inspired method based on cellular division rules. We hope that this survey will provide an update of the recent advances and novel applications of popular methods, provide exposure to lesser known, yet promising, techniques, and serve as a resource for those new to the field. The presentation of each method's focuses on new developments and novel applications.

Adaptive density-based robust topology optimization under uncertain loads using parallel computing
TL;DR: In this article , an efficient parallel implementation of density-based robust topology optimization (RTO) using adaptive mesh refinement (AMR) schemes is presented, which uses sparse grid stochastic collocation methods for transforming the RTO problem into a weighted multiple-loading deterministic problem at the collocation points.
Bio-inspired Bridge Design
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors reviewed the development of the bio-inspired concept on bridge design in the past two decades from two major forms: stationary forms and movable forms and showed how the inspiration from the biological world has influenced recent bridge designs and discussed how the bioinspired idea could transform into a new language for the future bridge design industry.
