Structural optimization can be classified into sizing, shape, and topology optimizations. Topology optimization is the most flexible method because in addition to changes in shape, topological changes, such as the creation of holes, are allowed, which can provide structures with higher performance than those derived using other methods. In this presentation, the concept of topology optimization is first discussed. Next, several applied results of topology optimization are introduced. Finally, future trends in topology optimization are discussed.
