Summary

As a pivotal component of structural optimization, dynamic topology optimization aims to seek the optimal material layout within a given design space under specific dynamic environments. Its key objective is to enhance the dynamic performance of structures, such as enlarge natural frequencies and mitigating vibration responses. This field holds profound significance in aerospace engineering and mechanical engineering, et al.

While the realm of static topology optimization has witnessed sufficient development and maturity, dynamic topology optimization lags behind due to a series of formidable challenges. These include the difficulty in formulating optimization frameworks, enormous computational burdens, and obstacles in algorithm convergence, all of which have hindered its rapid advancement.

To capture the latest progress and cutting-edge innovations in dynamic topology optimization in recent years, this special issue warmly invites high-quality submissions. Topics of interest encompass, but are not limited to:
- Topology optimization design for vibration suppression
- Topology optimization design of acoustic structures
- Topology optimization design of mechanical/acoustic metamaterials
- Topology optimization design of nonlinear dynamic structures
- Topology optimization design of multi-physics dynamic structures

Special attention will be paid to dynamic topology optimization methods integrated with artificial intelligence technologies and those associated with additive manufacturing—two frontier directions that are driving transformative changes in the field.
