Parametric structural shape optimization using the global Trefftz approach
The global Trefftz approach is applied to optimization of certain types of structures. Numerical examples show advantages of the method proposed. The algorithm can be extended to cover optimization using the Trefftz finite element solutions.
Keywords: Trefftz method; shape optimization
