Abstract
This paper aims to investigate multiple large-strain topology-optimized structures, by interpreting their overlay as a probability density function. Such a strategy is suited to finding an optimum design of silicon electrodes subject to a random contact. Using this method, and prescribing a zero net-force constraint on the global system, the optimum structure is identified with a Schwarz P minimum-surface structure. Then, the optimum structure is subject to chemo-mechanically coupled cycling, in terms of an irreversible thermodynamic process, which shows the interplay between the mechanical and chemical fields. The Matlab-based optimization code is attached.
