A Q4/Q4 continuum structural topology optimization implementation
A node-based design variable implementation for continuum structural topology optimization in a finite element framework is presented and its properties are explored in the context of solving a number of different design examples. Since the implementation ensures Ccontinuity of design variables, it is immune to elementwise checkerboarding instabilities that are a concern with element-based desi...
متن کاملA symmetry reduction method for continuum structural topology optimization
It is considered that asymmetrical material layout design solutions are caused by numerical roundo and the convexity characteristics of alternative topology design formulations. Emphasis is placed here not on analyzing potential instabilities that lead to asymmetrical designs, but on a method to stabilize topology design formulations. A novel symmetry reduction method is proposed, implemented ...
متن کاملIsogeometric Topology Optimization of Continuum Structures using an Evolutionary Algorithm
Topology optimization has been an interesting area of research in recent years. The main focus of this paper is to use an evolutionary swarm intelligence algorithm to perform Isogeometric Topology optimization of continuum structures. A two-dimensional plate is analyzed statically and the nodal displacements are calculated. The nodal displacements using Isogeometric analysis are found to be ...

ii ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I would like to express my deep gratitude to my advisor, Professor Colby C. Swan for all of his patient guidance, valuable advice, and enthusiastic encouragement, and belief throughout my research work at The University of Iowa. His willingness to motivate me contributed tremendously to my research. The knowledge I have gained from Professor Swan is invaluable. and Professor ...
متن کاملSparse monolithic compliant mechanisms using continuum structural topology optimization
A formulation for design of continuous, hinge-free compliant mechanisms is developed and examined within a continuum structural topology optimization framework. The formulation makes use of two distinctly different sets of springs, the first of which are artificial springs of relatively large stiffness attached to the input and output ports of the mechanism model, and the second of which are sp...
