摘要
Effective properties of arrangements of strong and weak materials in a. checkerboard fashion are computed. Kinematic constraints are imposed so that the displacements are consistent with typical finite element approximations. It is shown that when four-node quatrilateral elements are involved, these constraints result in a numerically induced, artificially high stiffness. This can account for the formation of checkerboard patterns in continuous layout optimization problems of compliance minimization.
