Design optimization of composite structures has been a significant topic of research over the recent years. In the present work, we propose a developed free-form optimization method for designing the shape of composite structures composed of dissimilar materials (A and B). In this shape design optimization, we use compliance as the objective function and minimize it under two volume constraints (total...
