Most papers on topology optimization consider that there is a linear relation between the
strains and displacements of the structure, implicitly assuming that the displacements of the …

This paper presents an active-set algorithm for large-scale optimization that occupies the
middle ground between sequential quadratic programming and sequential linear-quadratic …

This thesis concerns the development of active set algorithms for large-scale nonlinear
programming. Active set algorithms are characterized by their ability to identify the activity of …

In the last years, topology optimization has been broadly applied in the automotive and
aerospatial industries, and to a special kind of structure, named compliant mechanism. Most …
