Thickness control in structural optimization via a level set method
In the context of structural optimization via a level-set method we propose a framework to handle geometric constraints related to a notion of local thickness. The local thickness is calculated using the signed distance function to the shape. We formulate global constraints using integral functionals and compute their shape derivatives. We discuss different strategies and possible approximation...
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 کاملCasting constraints in structural optimization via a level-set method
1. Abstract A novel strategy for handling the molding constraint for cast parts is presented. In a first step, a simple projection method for the velocity field is applied. If the optimized shape violates thickness constraints, this projection method is no longer sufficient and a general molding constraint is applied at the same time with thickness control. We apply an augmented Lagrangian meth...
متن کاملMulti-phase Structural Optimization via a Level Set Method
We consider the optimal distribution of several elastic materials in a fixed working domain. In order to optimize both the geometry and topology of the mixture we rely on the level set method for the description of the interfaces between the different phases. We discuss various approaches, based on Hadamard method of boundary variations, for computing shape derivatives which are the key ingredi...
متن کاملStructural Topology Optimization Using Finite Element Based Level Set Method Structural Topology Optimization Using Finite Element Based Level Set Method
A finite element based level set method is proposed for structural topology optimization. Because both the level set equation and the reinitialization equation are advection dominated partial differential equations, the standard Galerkin finite element method may produce oscillating results. In this paper, both equations are solved using a streamline diffusion finite element method (SDFEM). The...
