A 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 کاملA BINARY LEVEL SET METHOD FOR STRUCTURAL TOPOLOGY OPTIMIZATION
This paper proposes an effective algorithm based on the level set method (LSM) to solve shape and topology optimization problems. Since the conventional LSM has several limitations, a binary level set method (BLSM) is used instead. In the BLSM, the level set function can only take 1 and -1 values at convergence. Thus, it is related to phase-field methods. We don’t need to solve the Hamilton-Jac...
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 ...
متن کاملA level set based method for topology optimization of continuum structures with stress constraint
This paper presents a stress constrained topology optimization problem and its level set based solution. The volume of material is minimized, and stress constraints at all the points in a structure are efficiently aggregated into a single equivalent global constraint. Using the material derivative and adjoint method we derived the shape sensitivity. The steepest descent optimization algorithm i...
متن کاملA 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...
