SIMP
where:
Ke is the element stiffness matrix at the global level

SIMP
Makes the intermediate density elements unfavorable in the optimization by making the
stiffness of the intermediate density elements small compared to the volume
Doesnt allow the stiffness matrix to become singular by introducing a very small
amount of minimum relative density
