Casting constraints in structural optimization via a level-set method
نویسندگان
چکیده
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 method to impose the constraints and compute a shape derivative for the objective function. We show examples in 3-d. 2.

متن کاملMolding direction constraints in structural optimization via a level-set method
In the framework of structural optimization via a level-set method, we develop an approach to handle the directional molding constraint for cast parts. A novel molding condition is formulated and a penalization method is used to enforce the constraint. A first advantage of our new approach is that it does not require to start from a feasible initialization, but it guarantees the convergence to ...

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...
