Abstract

Topology of a structure can be defined as a spatial arrangement of structural members and internal boundaries. Topology optimization means varying the connectivity between structural members of discrete structures or between domains of continuum structures this contributes to the development of structural design and mass reduction of vehicle components. The overall weight of the vehicle can be reduced to achieve savings in raw material costs and consequently processing cost as well as improve fuel efficiency and reduce carbon emissions to help sustain the environment.
