This study introduces an elasto-plastic topology optimization approach tailored for structural systems subjected to cyclic loading. By incorporating material nonlinearity, the method provides a robust framework for designing structures that withstand repetitive loading efficiently, avoiding excessive material use. This optimization approach integrates the effects of cyclic loading to enhance structural resilience while minimizing mean compliance. The proposed method is particularly applicable for optimizing structural components in steel frameworks where material efficiency and load-bearing capacity are critical. By emphasizing the elasto-plastic behavior of materials, this study aims to offer a practical tool for engineers seeking resilient structural designs that balance strength and sustainability. Potential applications extend to structural elements in earthquake-resistant buildings, where managing material use is essential for both environmental and economic impact.
