Evolutionary topology optimization of continuum structures using X-FEM and isovalues of structural performance

In the last three decades, advances in modern manufacturing processes, such as additive manufacturing (AM) on one hand and computational power on the other hand, has resulted in a surge of interest in topology optimization as a means of designing high performance components with high degrees of geom...
