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 کاملGeometric Complexity - 1 Geometric Complexity and Minimum Description Length Principle
The question of how one should decide among competing explanations of data is at the heart of the scientific enterprise. Quantitative methods of selecting among models have been advanced over the years without an underlying theoretical framework to guide the enterprise and evaluate new developments. In this paper, we show that differential geometry provides a unified understanding of the model ...
متن کاملVOLUME MINIMIZATION WITH DISPLACEMENT CONSTRAINTS IN TOPOLOGY OPTIMIZATION OF CONTINUUM STRUCTURES
In this paper, a displacement-constrained volume-minimizing topology optimization model is present for two-dimensional continuum problems. The new model is a generalization of the displacement-constrained volume-minimizing model developed by Yi and Sui [1] in which the displacement is constrained in the loading point. In the original model the displacement constraint was formulated as an equali...
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...
متن کاملGeometric Feature Identification from Topology Optimization Results
1. Abstract Topology optimization yields an overall layout of a structure in the form of discrete density (e.g., SIMP) or continuous boundary geometry (e.g., level-set method). One of important drawbacks, however, is that it leads to a geometry with zigzag boundaries and/or irregular shapes, which is difficult to be interpreted for manufacturability, as well as to be utilized in subsequent appl...
