The structure design points stress analysis for succeeding optimization steps is the base of the topology optimization algorithm. Because the material density of the material is proportional to the strain energy we can predict how to change the density for each design point for the next optimization steps. Proposed procedure make the optimization process faster and final topology is finally more optimal than topology obtained using standard optimization procedures. This stress analyzing procedure, can be treated as a hardware of the sensors being the part of the smart structure for the real time structure reconstruction. (© 2006 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.
