Simultaneous design of components layout and supporting structures using coupled shape and topology optimization technique (2008, background): “Qian and Ananthasuresh (2004) presented a compromised approach in which the exact geometry shape of each component is not included but simulated with a predefined material interpolation model, i.e., the geometrical movement of a component is actually simulated as a physical variation of the…”
A survey of structural and multidisciplinary continuum topology optimization: post 2000 (2014, background): “In the literature, these integrated components may be either rigid (Qian and Ananthasuresh 2004) or elastic (Zhu et al.”

Sensitivity analysis with the modified Heaviside function for the optimal layout design of multi-component systems (2012, background): “The layout design of complex multi-component systems studied here can be regarded as an extension of existing topology optimization and is attracting much attention [8–13].”
