A new level set based topology optimization employing inner-front creation algorithm is presented. In the conventional level set based topology optimization, the optimum topology strongly depends on the initial level set distribution due to the incapability of inner-front creation during optimization process. In the present work, an inner-front creation algorithm is proposed, in which the sizes, positions, and number of new inner-fronts during the optimization process can be globally and consistently identified. To update the level set function during the optimization process, the least-squares finite element method is employed. As demonstrative examples for the flexibility and usefulness of the proposed method, the level set based topology optimization considering lightweight design of 3D shell structure is carried out.

For a subset system M on any poset, M-Scott notions, such as M-way below relation,M-continuity,M-Scott convergence (of nets and filters respectively) and M-Scott topology are proposed Any approximating auxiliary relation on a poset can be represented by an M-way below relation such that this poset is M-continuous. It is shown that a poset is M-continuous iff the M-Scott topology is completely distributive. The topology induced by the M-Scott convergence coincides with the M-Scott topology. If the M-way below relation satisfies the property of interpolation then a poset is M-continuous if and only if the M-Scott convergence coincides with the M-Scott topological convergence. Also, M-continuity is characterized by a certain Galois connection.

Most engineering products contain more than one component. Failure occurs either at the connection itself or in the component at the point of attachment of the connection in many engineering structures. The allocation and design of connections such as bolts, spot-welds, adhesive etc. usually play an important role in the structure of multi-components. Topology optimization of connection component provides more practical solution in design of multi-component connection system. In this study, a topology optimization based on density distribution approach has been applied to optimal location of fasteners such as T-shape, L-shape and multi-component connection system. From the results, it was verified that the number of iteration was reduced, and the optimal topology was obtained very similarly comparing with ESO method. Therefore, it can be concluded that the density distribution method is very suitable for topology optimization of multi-component structures.

Topology optimization of the inner reinforcement for a vehicle's hood has been performed by evolutionary structural optimization(ESO) using a smoothing scheme. The purpose of this study is to obtain optimal topology of the inner reinforcement for a vehicle's hood considering the static stiffness of bending and torsion simultaneously. To do this, the multiobjective optimization technique was implemented. Optimal topologies were obtained by the ESO method. From several combinations of weighting factors, a Pareto-optimal solution was obtained. Also, a smoothing scheme was implemented to suppress the checkerboard pattern in the procedure of topology optimization. It is concluded that ESO method with a smoothing scheme is effectively applied to topology optimization of the inner reinforcement of a vehicle's hood considering the static stiffness of bending and torsion.

The general topology optimization can be considered as optimal material distribution. Such an approach can be unstable, unless composite materials are introduced. In this research, a nodal volume fraction method is used to obtain the optimum topology of continuum structures. This method is conducted from a composite material model composed of isotropic matter and spherical void. Because the appearance of the chessboard patterns makes the interpretation of the optimal material layout very difficult, this method contains a chessboard prevention strategy. In this research, several topology optimization problems are presented to demonstrate the validity of the present method and the recursive quadratic programming algorithm is used to solve the topology optimization problems.

Topology optimization is widely accepted as a conceptual design tool for the product design. Since the resulted layout of the topology optimization is a kind of digital images represented by the density distribution, the seamless process is required to transform digital images to the CAD model for the practical use. In this paper, the general process to construct a CAD model is developed to apply for topology images based on elements. The node density and the morphology technique are adopted to extract boundary contour of the shape and remove the noise of images through erosion and dilation operation. The proposed method automatically generates point data sets of the geometric model. The process is integrated with Pro/Engineer, so that the engineer in practice can directly handle with curves or surfaces form digital images.

본 논문에서는 대역폭과 지연 파라미터를 참조하여 PG내의 토폴로지 정보를 요약하는 기법으로 라인 세그먼트를 이용하여 경계노드 사이의 다중 경로 정보를 요약하였다. 이를 위해 토폴로지 요약 정보를 줄이고 다중링크 요약에 유연성을 부여하기 위하여 대역폭과 지연의 한 쌍으로 구성된 두 개의 라인 세그먼트를 이용하는 수정된 라인 세그먼트 기법을 제안하였다. 시뮬레이션 분석결과 제안된 star TA 기법이 기존의 기법보다 성능이 향상됨을 알 수 있었다.

The goal of this paper is to study extension problems of several continuities in computer topology. To be specific, for a set $X\;{\subset}\;Z^n$ take a subspace (X, $T_n^X$) induced from the Khalimsky nD space ($Z^n$, $T^n$). Considering (X, $T_n^X$) with one of the k-adjacency relations of $Z^n$, we call it a computer topological space (or a space if not confused) denoted by $X_{n,k}$. In addition, we introduce several kinds of k-retracts of $X_{n,k}$, investigate their properties related to several continuities and homeomorphisms in computer topology and study extension problems of these continuities in relation with these k-retracts.

Topology optimization method has a great advantage and capability over a conventional shape optimization technique because it optimizes a topology as well as a shape and size of structure. The purpose of the present study, using topology optimization method with an objective function of minimum compliance as a mechanism of bone remodeling, is to examine which shape factors of femur is strongly related with the curvature of femoral shaft. As is expected, the optimized curvature increased definitely with neck angle among the shape factors and showed a similar trend with the measured curvature to neck angle. Therefore, the topology optimization method can be successfully applied in the analysis of bone remodeling phenomenon in the subsequent studies.
