The development and application to the shape optimization of two-dimensional elastic body are presented.
Boundary element method is used in this study to avoid the regridding process to account for shape charge.
Feasible direction method is used as optimization technique and Finite difference method is used to get design sensitivity in the optimization process.
To demonstrate the feasibility of the method proposed, shape optimization of two dimensional dlastic ring under point load is carried out as an example.
