ABSTRACT: This keynote lecture deals with structural topology optimization, a relatively new but rapidly
expanding field of structural mechanics. After discussing its fundamental features and defining its subfields
(layoutoptimization and generalized shape optimization),wereview the earlyhistory of bothexact and discretized
topology optimization and show extensive applications in the car, machine and aerospace ...
