Topology optimization of locomoting soft bodies using material point method

Topology optimization methods have widely been used in various industries, owing to their potential for providing promising design candidates mechanical devices. However, applications are usually limited the objects which do not move significantly due difficulty computationally efficient handling of contact and interactions among multiple structures or with boundaries by conventionally simulation techniques. In present study, we propose a topology method moving incorporating material point method, is often simulate motion field computer graphics. Several numerical experiments demonstrate effectiveness utility proposed method.
