An improved optimality criterion combined with density filtering method for structural topology optimization

Engineering optimization (Print), 2021
The solid isotropic microstructure with penalization (SIMP) model is widely used in structural topology optimization. When the optimality criterion (OC) method is used for solving the SIMP model, the optimization solution process not only has relatively ...

Structural Topology Optimization with Eigenvalues

SIAM Journal on Optimization, 2008
The paper considers different problem formulations of topology optimization of discrete or discretized structures with eigenvalues as constraints or as objective functions. We study multiple-load case formulations of minimum volume or weight, minimum compliance problems, and the problem of maximizing the minimal eigenvalue of the structure, including ...

Adaptive Topology Optimization of Shell Structures

AIAA Journal, 1996
Summary: To solve generalized shape optimization problems, material topology optimization is applied to determine the basic layout, i.e., to insert and eliminate holes in the design space. In addition, the inner and outer contours are optimized in detail by shape optimization.

Topology Optimization of Structures With Geometrical Nonlinearities

Volume 2: 26th Design Automation Conference, 2000
Abstract In this paper, the stiffness optimization problem is investigated for structures with geometrical nonlinearities. The mean compliance of the structure is chosen as the objective function and its sensitivities are derived using the adjoint method. The optimal problem is formulated using a microstructure-based design domain method

Topology optimization of nonlinear structures

Finite Elements in Analysis and Design, 2004
In this paper, topology optimization of both geometrically and materially nonlinear structure is studied using a general displacement functional as the objective function. In order to consider large deformation, effective stress and strain are expressed in terms of 2nd Piolar-Kirchhoff stress tensor and Green-Lagrange strain tensor, and constitutive ...

Multi-material structural topology optimization considering material interfacial stress constraints

Computer Methods in Applied Mechanics and Engineering, 2020
For multi-material structures, ensuring material interface strength is particularly vital for their integrity and durability. In the present study, we incorporate material interfacial stress constraints into topology optimization of bi-material ...

On CAD-integrated structural topology and design optimization

Computer Methods in Applied Mechanics and Engineering, 1991
Concepts underlying an interactive CAD-based engineering design optimization system are developed, and methods of optimizing the topology, shape and sizing of mechanical components are presented. These methods are integrated in the system, and the method for determining the optimal topology is used as a preprocessor for subsequent shape or sizing ...

Topology optimization of structures using ant colony optimization

Proceedings of the first ACM/SIGEVO Summit on Genetic and Evolutionary Computation, 2009
A modified ACO algorithm that derives from specific definition of pheromone and cooperation mechanism between ants was applied for solving topology optimization problem of structure. Mesh topology of finite element model for structure was treated as possible paths for ant's movement.
