SEISMIC OPTIMIZATION OF STEEL SHEAR WALL USING SHAPE MEMORY ALLOY
Nowadays, steel shear walls are used as efficient lateral-load-resistant systems due to their high lateral stiffness and carrying capacity. In this paper, the effect of substituting a shape memory alloy (SMA) material is investigated instead of using conventional steel in the shear wall. A numerical study is conducted using finite element method (FEM) by OpenSees software. For this purpose, at ...
متن کاملParameterization Strategy for Optimization of Shape Morphing Compliant Mechanisms Using Load Path Representation
The distributed compliance and smooth deformation field of compliant mechanisms provide a viable means to achieve shape morphing in many systems, such as flexible antenna reflectors and morphing aircraft wings. We previously developed a systematic synthesis approach to design shape morphing compliant mechanisms using Genetic Algorithm (GA). However, the design variable definition, in fact, allo...
متن کاملShape and Topology Optimization for Compliant Mechanisms Using Level Set- Based Parameterization Method
A new parameterization approach 1 for optimal synthesis of compliant mechanisms using level set-based shape and topology optimization approach is presented in this work. The structural free design boundary is implicitly represented by embedding into a higher-dimensional scalar function as its zero level set. The compactly supported radial basis function with a favourable smoothness is introduce...
متن کاملSynthesis of Shape Morphing Compliant Mechanisms Using Load Path Representation
Synthesis of shape morphing compliant mechanism is inherently different from typical single output problems, due to the multiple output points along the morphing boundary. Two synthesis approaches, using a fixed initial discretization mesh and using a load path representation, have been developed previously to simultaneously address the topology, size, and geometry aspects of a compliant mechan...
متن کاملShape Optimization of Compliant Pressure Actuated Cellular Structures
Biologically inspired pressure actuated cellular structures can alter their shape through pressure variations. Previous work introduced a computational framework for pressure actuated cellular structures that is limited to two cell rows and central cell corner hinges. This article rigorously extends these results by taking into account an arbitrary number of cell rows, a more complicated cell k...
