Abstract
Within the general framework of frequency-domain topology optimization of Multi Input-Multi Output (MI-MO) dynamic systems, suitable norms of the input/output transfer matrix are introduced as possible merit functions to be minimized. Among them, the by now classical H∞-norm (i.e. the supremum of the maximum singular value over the whole frequency range), and the so-called nuclear norm (i.e. the sum of all the positive singular values are considered. Heuristic motivations are given that suggest which norm should one choose according to the practical objective to be pursued alongside a few numerical examples on topology optimization of 2D linear-elastic multiload SI-SO and MI-MO dynamic systems.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
