A sensitivity interpolation algorithm for the concurrent optimization of bodies sharing a common design space

Abstract In this paper the problem of concurrent topological optimization two different bodies sharing a region design space is dealt with. This focuses on simultaneous (components) where not only material distribution each body has to be optimized but also divided among bodies. novel formulation represents in which more than one component have located inside limited allowable room. Each its own function and load carrying requirements. development solution algorithm presented. With respect previously published papers, new comprises an interpolation density fields allows complete independence meshes As can meshed with any arbitrary mesh, applied real geometry. The developed used complex three dimensional system, namely multi-component arm for tube bending machine.
