Abstract The paper presents a gradient‐based topology optimization formulation that allows to solve acoustic–structure (vibro‐acoustic) interaction problems without explicit boundary interface representation. In acoustic–structure interaction problems, the pressure and displacement fields are governed by Helmholtz equation and the elasticity equation, respectively. Normally, the two separate fields are coupled by surface‐coupling integrals, however, such a formulation does not allow for free mat

Abstract This paper outlines a new procedure for topology optimization in the steady‐state fluid–structure interaction (FSI) problem. A review of current topology optimization methods highlights the difficulties in alternating between the two distinct sets of governing equations for fluid and structure dynamics (hereafter, the fluid and structural equations, respectively) and in imposing coupling boundary conditions between the separated fluid and solid domains. To overcome these difficulties, w

Abstract The application of the element density‐based topology optimization method to nonlinear continuum structures is limited to relatively simple problems such as bilinear elastoplastic material problems. Furthermore, it is very difficult to use analytic sensitivity when a commercial nonlinear finite element code is used. As an alternative to the element density formulation, the element connectivity parameterization (ECP) formulation is developed for the topology optimization of isotropic‐har
