Abstract

In this note, globally optimal solutions to three sets of small-scale discretized continuum topology optimization problems are presented. All the problems were discretized by the use of nine-node isoparametric finite elements. The idea is that these solutions can be used as benchmark problems when testing new algorithms for finding pure 0–1 solutions to topology optimization problems defined on discretized ground structures.
