摘要：In the present paper, an explicit method for controlling the structural complexity of continuum structures in topology optimization is proposed. This method is devised under the Moving Morphable Component (MMC) based framework where the geometries of the basic building blocks for topology optimization are described explicitly. Compared to the existing structural complexity control approaches which are generally developed in an implicit geometry/topology description framework, the proposed method allows an explicit definition of structural complexity, which facilitates the construction of the controlling schemes significantly. The effectiveness of the proposed method is demonstrated by numerical examples shown at the end of the paper.
