Bi-directional evolutionary structural optimization for design-dependent fluid pressure loading problems (2015, methodology): “Since its introduction (Bendsoe 1988), the methods of topology optimization have been extended to different applications (Chen, Silva, and Kikuchi 2001; Sigmund 2001; Duhring, Jensen, and Sigmund 2008; Silva and Pavanello 2010).”
MULTI-PHASE STRUCTURAL OPTIMIZATION VIA A LEVEL SET METHOD ∗, ∗∗ (2014, background): “Applications range from the design of materials with extreme or unusual thermal expansion behavior [44] to multi-material actuators [45], through conductivity optimization for multi-phase microstructural materials [59].”

A critical review of established methods of structural topology optimization (2009, methodology): “…presented in 1990 (Rozvany and Zhou 1991). b The corresponding exact analytical truss solution (Lewinski et al. 1994) (Buhl et al. 2000), multi-physics actuators (Sigmund 2001b), photonic crystal structures (Jensen and Sigmund 2004, 2005), and phononic band gap materials (Sigmund and Jensen 2003).”
On the reformulation of topology optimization problems as linear or convex quadratic mixed 0–1 programs (2007, methodology): “applications such as the design of mechanisms ( Sigmund 2001a, 2001b ), design of composite materials with special properties (Sigmund and Torquato 1997; Sigmund 2000; Gibiansky and Sigmund 2000), and optimization of fluids in Stokes flow (Borrvall and Petersson 2003).”
A new multi-material level set topology optimization method with the length scale control capability (2018, positive): “In [6,7], the authors applied the multi-material SIMP method to design two-material meta-materials for extreme physical properties; and later, they [8] extended the method to design multi-physics actuators with two types of materials.”
Recent Advances in Optimization of Smart Structures and Actuators (2003, methodology): “Sigmund and Torquato (1999) employ a very similar approach in designing piezoelectric composite material microstructures.”
