Minimum void length scale control in level set topology optimization subject to machining radii
This paper presents a minimum void length scale control method for structural topology optimization. Void length scale control has been actively investigated for decades, which intends to ensure the topology design manufacturable given the machining tool access. However, only a single lower bound has been applied in existing methods, which does not fit the multi-stage rough-to-finish machining....
متن کاملTopology optimization using regularized intermediate density control
We consider topology optimization of elastic continua. The elasticity tensor is assumed to depend linearly on the design function (density) as in the variable thickness sheet problem. In order to get ``black±white'' design pictures, the intermediate density values are controlled by an explicit constraint. This constraint is regularized by including a compact and linear operator S to guarantee e...
متن کاملFinding a Length-Constrained Maximum-Density Path in a Tree
Let T = (V, E, w) be an undirected and weighted tree with node set V and edge set E , where w(e) is an edge weight function for e ∈ E . The density of a path, say e1, e2, . . . , ek , is defined as ∑k i=1 w(ei )/k. The length of a path is the number of its edges. Given a tree with n edges and a lower bound L where 1 ≤ L ≤ n, this paper presents two efficient algorithms for finding a maximum-den...
متن کاملLength Scale for Characterising Continuous Optimization Problems
In metaheuristic optimization, understanding the relationship between problems and algorithms is important but non-trivial. There has been a growing interest in the literature on techniques for analysing problems, however previous work has mainly been developed for discrete problems. In this paper, we develop a novel framework for characterising continuous optimization problems based on the con...
متن کاملProgressive Structural Topology Optimization by Variable Chromosome Length Genetic Algorithm
Il Yong KIM* Olivier DE WECK Dept. of Mechanical and Materials Engineering, Queen’s University, Canada Dept. of Aeronautics and Astronautics and Engineering Systems Division, MIT, USA Abstract This article introduces the concept of variable chromosome lengths in the context of an adaptive genetic algorithm (GA). This concept is applied to structural topology optimization with large numbers of d...
