Graph-based element removal method for topology synthesis of beam based ground structures

This note proposes a novel element removal method for ground structured based topology optimization that utilizes a double-filtering scheme based on a graph representation of the topology. Two types of systems: planar resonators and compliant mechanisms, are used to illustrate the method.
