= Discontinuity layout optimization
{wiki=Discontinuity_layout_optimization}
Discontinuity Layout Optimization (DLO) is a design and optimization approach typically used in fields like structural engineering, mechanical design, and materials science to improve the performance of structures and components by considering the spatial arrangement of materials and elements. The key concept behind DLO is the identification and utilization of discontinuities in a material or system's layout, which can lead to enhanced performance characteristics such as strength, stiffness, weight reduction, and overall efficiency.
