Groen, J.P. (author), Langelaar, Matthijs (author), Sigmund, O (author), Ruess, M. (author)This article presents a detailed study on the potential and limitations of performing higher-order multi-resolution topology optimization with the finite cell method. To circumvent stiffness overestimation in high-contrast topologies, a length-scale is applied on the solution using filter methods. The relations between stiffness...journal article 2017
