Optimization of slender structures considering geometrical imperfections
In this article, we present an optimization model which incorporates uncertainty induced by geometrical imperfections. Within the model, geometrical imperfections are represented by means of random fields. The induced uncertainties are then treated using the concept of a convex model. The resultant problem is then solved in a two-stage optimization procedure. An arched girder is used to demonst...
متن کاملRobust topology optimization of slender structures with geometric imperfections
1. Abstract Structural topology optimization often leads to slender structures which are sensitive to geometric imperfections such as the misplacement of material. A robust approach is therefore presented in order to take into account material misplacement in topology optimization problems. A probabilistic approach to robust optimization is followed. Spatially varying geometric imperfections ar...
متن کاملModelling of Random Geometrical Imperfections and Reliability Calculations for Thin Cylindrical Shell Subjected to Lateral Pressure
It is well known that it is very difficult to manufacture perfect thin cylindrical shell. Initial geometrical imperfections existing in the shell structure is one of the main determining factor for load bearing capacity of thin cylindrical shell under uniform lateral pressure. As these imperfections are random, the strength of same size cylindrical shell will also random and a statistical metho...
متن کاملISOGEOMETRIC TOPOLOGY OPTIMIZATION OF STRUCTURES CONSIDERING WEIGHT MINIMIZATION AND LOCAL STRESS CONSTRAINTS
The Isogeometric Analysis (IA) is utilized for structural topology optimization considering minimization of weight and local stress constraints. For this purpose, material density of the structure is assumed as a continuous function throughout the design domain and approximated using the Non-Uniform Rational B-Spline (NURBS) basis functions. Control points of the density surface are...
متن کاملModeling Piezocomposite Actuators Embedded in Slender Structures
This work presents a comprehensive methodology for dimensional reduction of anisotropic slender structures with embedded anisotropic piezocomposite materials. The analysis is based on a variational-asymptotic formulation, and provides cross-sectional stiffness, inertia and actuation forces for a beam modeling of the structure. It can retain higher-order information corresponding to non-classica...
