A variance-expected compliance approach for topology optimization
نویسندگان
چکیده
Abstract In this paper we focus on the adaptation to topology optimization of a previous variance-expected compliance applied to truss design. The principal objective of such a model is to find robust structures for a given main load and its perturbations. In particular we are interested in avoiding high compliance values in cases of important perturbations. In the first part, we recall the variance-expected formulation and main results in the case of truss structures. Then, we extend this model to topology optimization. Finally, we study the interest of this model on a 2D benchmark test.

Exploration of Robust Topologies under the Loading Uncertainty for the Lug Structure of Super Sonic
In Super Sonic Transport (SST), thin wing structure is necessary to satisfy the high speed, economic viability and environmental compatibility requirements. Among many structures in thin wing, the lug structure which is between the body and the main wing plays important role. However, it is difficult to design of the lug structure because it is subjected many loads that have uncertainties such ...
متن کاملAn improved robust topology optimization approach using multiobjective evolutionary algorithms
Robust topology optimization has gained importance during the last years. This paper presents a robust approach to topology optimization using multiobjective evolutionary algorithms. A key contribution of our approach is that our optimization model handles structural robustness through the first two objectives, namely, the expected compliance and its variance; whereas a third objective incorpor...

متن کاملStochastic Topology Design Optimization for Continuous Elastic Materials
In this paper, we develop a stochastic model for topology optimization. We find robust structures that minimize the compliance for a given main load having a stochastic behavior. We propose a model that takes into account the expected value of the compliance and its variance. We show that, similarly to the case of truss structures, these values can be computed with an equivalent deterministic a...
