Abstract
This paper presents a design methodology based on a combination of isogeometric analysis (IGA),
level set and point wise density mapping techniques for topology optimization of piezoelectric /
flexoelectric materials. The fourth order partial differential equations (PDEs) of flexoelectricity,
which require at least C 1 continuous approximations, are discretized using Non-Uniform Rational
B-spline (NURBS). The point wise density mapping technique with consistent derivatives is
