[S02A-05] Sensitivity Analysis Formulation Based on Damage Analysis of Concrete Structures
Keywords:Topology Optimization, Damage Analysis
It is not easy to handle nonlinear materials such as concrete in the framework of general topology optimization based on sensitivity analysis. In this study, we applied a special sensitivity analysis algorithm proposed in previous research on elasto-plastic materials to brittle damage analysis, and formulated an analysis method for topology optimization that is easy to implement and requires little computational load.
