The flexible bodies are parameterized using the solid isotropic material with penalization approach. For the efficient solution of the optimization problem, the pointwise time-dependent constraints are discretized and aggregated into a single constraint using the Kreisselmeier-Steinhauser function. The procedure is tested by optimizing the mass of a flexible piston rod, while the deformation within the design domain is constrained.en1617-70612018114Wiley-VCHMathematikTechnikConference Paper10.1002/pamm.201800340Conference Paper
