Smooth boundary topology optimization applied to an electrostatic actuator [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
Smooth boundary topology optimization (SBTO) avoids many of the problems encountered by conventional cell based systems coupled with material homogenization or density method. Shape optimization becomes part of topology optimization. The effectiveness of

Reliability-Based Topology Optimization: An Extension of the SESO and SERA Methods for Three-Dimensional Structures

open access: yesApplied Sciences, 2022
This study takes an approach to reliability-based topology optimization (RBTO) for 3D structures by applying an expansion of smoothing evolutionary structural optimization (SESO) and sequential element rejection and admission (SERA) for three-dimensional

Nonlinearity investigation of reliability-based topology optimization strategies with application to total hip replacement [PDF]

open access: yesE3S Web of Conferences, 2021
In literature, the topology optimization can be divided into two main models. The first model is called Deterministic Topology Optimization (DTO) producing a single configuration for a given design space.

A novel dynamic reliability-based topology optimization (DRBTO) framework for continuum structures via interval-process collocation and the first-passage theories

open access: yesComputer Methods in Applied Mechanics and Engineering, 2021
In view of the general inertia and damping features as well as the inevitable uncertainty factors in engineering structures, a novel dynamic reliability-based topology optimization (DRBTO) strategy is investigated for time-variant mechanical systems with

Multi-objective topology optimization design of truss structures based on evidence theory under limited information

open access: yesXibei Gongye Daxue Xuebao, 2023
Uncertainty information is often limited and has great discreteness, how to ensure the structure having good robustness under epistemic uncertainty becomes a technical problem for multi-objective topology optimization design.

Inverse Optimum Safety Factor Method for Reliability-Based Topology Optimization Applied to Free Vibrated Structures

open access: yesИнженерные технологии и системы, 2019
Introduction. The classical topology optimization leads to a prediction of the structural type and overall layout, and gives a rough description of the shape of the outer as well as inner boundaries of the structure.

Topology Optimization for Minimum Compliance with Material Volume and Buckling Constraints under Design-Dependent Loads

open access: yesApplied Sciences, 2023
Stability is a critical factor in structural design. Although buckling-constrained topology optimization has been investigated in previous work, the problem has not been considered under design-dependent loads.

An Iterative Topology Optimization Algorithm That Considers Randomness in Design Parameters

open access: yesJournal of Advanced Mechanical Design, Systems, and Manufacturing, 2012
Topology optimization often incorporates a reliability analysis to take the randomness in the design parameters into account. This strategy is inherently a double-loop procedure due to the probabilistic constraints in optimization.
