Since this is driving the overall calculation time of the optimization, a reduction of the considered damage cases is desirable. In this paper, two strategies to achieve a significant reduction of damage cases are shown: An active-set strategy as an extension to the simplified local damage model first introduced by Jansen et al. as well as a newly developed load-path based algorithm for the placement of damage zones.enTopology optimization, Fail-safeConference Paper10.1007/978-3-319-97773-7_19Other
