MATLAB Implementation of Quadrilateral Mesh Generation

In this research, we implemented quadrilateral mesh generation, a commonly used method applicable to numerous engineering and scientific domains. This approach simplifies computational tasks by dividing complex domains into smaller, manageable quadrilateral elements. We utilized MATLAB to solve two-dimensional topology optimization problems, implementing algorithms that enhance design optimization and computational efficiency. Key implementation aspects include: - Mesh generation using MATLAB's PDE Toolbox functions like `generateMesh` with quadrilateral element specification - Domain discretization through structured grid creation using `meshgrid` function - Topology optimization algorithm implementation incorporating sensitivity analysis and density-based methods - Optimization loops with MATLAB's `fmincon` or custom iterative routines for material distribution Through these technical implementations, we gained deeper insights into topological optimization problems, providing valuable foundations and directions for future research investigations. The MATLAB code structure typically involves mesh initialization, finite element analysis, sensitivity calculation, and optimization convergence checks.
