Stochastic structural topology optimization: discretization and penalty function approach
Stochastic structural topology optimization: discretization and penalty function approach is a scholarly work by Anton Evgrafov and Michael Patriksson, published in 2003 in ''Structural and Multidisciplinary Optimization''. The main subjects of the publication include optimization problem, mathematics, Penalty method, topology optimization, iterative numerical method, discretization, multi-objective optimization, mathematical optimization, minification, stochastic optimization, and computer science. The authors propose a solution scheme based first on the approximation of the given topology optimization problem by a sequence of simpler sizing optimization problems, and second on approximating the probability measure in the latter problems.
