Exact analytical solutions for some popular benchmark problems in topology optimization III: L-shaped domains

In this paper exact, analytical solutions are derived for another highly popular benchmark problem, namely, L-shaped domains having a horizontal line support and one or several point loads. The optimal topologies are obtained in the context of Michell structures, i.e., least-weight, stress, or compliance-controlled trusses with a single load condition.
