: The proposed topology optimization formulation is based on well-known three-field SIMP method with Helmholtz filtering and relaxed Heaviside function. The implementation for this known method have been provided in the relevant references cited in this paper. The extension of the three-field SIMP for the proposed design variable vector field is described in detail in Section InternalRef removed. Additionally, the enough information to implement the proposed penalization scheme is provided in Section InternalRef removed. Parameters required to reproduce the numerical examples are summarized in Table InternalRef removed. Additional details that is necessary for the replication of the numerical examples such as initial setting of design variables are described in each subsection of Section InternalRef removed.
