Design of thermoelastic multi-material structures with graded interfaces using topology optimization
نویسندگان
چکیده
A level set based shape and topology optimization framework is used to study the effect of graded interfaces in the optimization process of micro-architectured multi-materials. In contrast to previous studies interfaces are considered as smooth transition between phases instead of a sharp delimitation between two phases. A study on extreme thermoelastic properties of 2D isotropic composites is achieved and optimal design are presented. The study shows how taking into account smooth interfaces can influence the optimal design of these materials.

TOPOLOGY OPTIMIZATION OF PLANE STRUCTURES USING BINARY LEVEL SET METHOD AND ISOGEOMETRIC ANALYSIS
This paper presents the topology optimization of plane structures using a binary level set (BLS) approach and isogeometric analysis (IGA). In the standard level set method, the domain boundary is descripted as an isocountour of a scalar function of a higher dimensionality. The evolution of this boundary is governed by Hamilton–Jacobi equation. In the BLS method, the interfaces of subdomai...
متن کاملOn the Six Node Hexagon Elements for Continuum Topology Optimization of Plates Carrying in Plane Loading and Shell Structures Carrying out of Plane Loading
The need of polygonal elements to represent the domain is gaining interest among structural engineers. The objective is to perform static analysis and topology optimization of a given continuum domain using the rational fraction type shape functions of six node hexagonal elements. In this paper, the main focus is to perform the topology optimization of two-dimensional plate structures using Evo...
متن کاملDesign of Functionally Graded Structures Using Topology Optimization
The concept of functionally graded materials (FGMs) is closely related to the concept of topology optimization, which consists in a design method that seeks a continuum optimum material distribution in a design domain. Thus, in this work, topology optimization is applied to design FGM structures considering a minimum compliance criterion. The present approach applies the so-called “continuous t...
متن کاملOptimization of Thermal Instability Resistance of FG Flat Structures using an Improved Multi-objective Harmony Search Algorithm
This paper presents a clear monograph on the optimization of thermal instability resistance of the FG (functionally graded) flat structures. For this aim, two FG flat structures, namely an FG beam and an FG circular plate, are considered. These structures are assumed to obey the first-order shear deformation theory, three-parameters power-law distribution of the constituents, and clamped bounda...
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...
