We present a convergent continuous branch‐and‐bound algorithm for global optimization of minimum weight truss topology problems with displacement, stress, and local buckling constraints. Valid inequalities which strengthen the problem formulation are derived. The inequalities are generated by solving well‐defined convex optimization problems. Computational results are reported on a large collection of problems taken from the literature. Most of these problems are, for the first time, solved with a proof of global optimality.

We introduce an extension of current technologies for topology optimization of continuum structures which allows for treating local stress criteria. We first consider relevant stress criteria for porous composite materials, initially by studying the stress states of the so-called rank 2 layered materials. Then, on the basis of the theoretical study of the rank 2 microstructures, we propose an empirical model that extends the power penalized stiffness model (also called SIMP for Solid Isotropic Microstructure with Penalization for inter-mediate densities). In a second part, solution aspects of topology problems are considered. To deal with the so-called ‘singularity’ phenomenon of stress constraints in topology design, an ϵ-constraint relaxation of the stress constraints is used. We describe the mathematical programming approach that is used to solve the numerical optimization problems, and show results for a number of example applications. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. 相似文献

Topology optimization using stress constraints and considering uncertainties is a serious challenge, since a reliability problem has to be solved for each stress constraint, for each element in the mesh. In this paper, an alternative way of solving this problem is used, where uncertainty quantification is performed through the first‐order perturbation approach, with proper validation by Monte Carlo simulation. Uncertainties are considered in the loading magnitude and direction. The minimum volume problem subjected to local stress constraints is formulated as a robust problem, where the stress constraints are written as a weighted average between their expected value and standard deviation. The augmented Lagrangian method is used for handling the large set of local stress constraints, whereas a gradient‐based algorithm is used for handling the bounding constraints. It is shown that even in the presence of small uncertainties in loading direction, different topologies are obtained when compared to a deterministic approach. The effect of correlation between uncertainties in loading magnitude and direction on optimal topologies is also studied, where the main observed result is loss of symmetry in optimal topologies. 相似文献

We present an alternative topology optimization formulation capable of handling the presence of stress constraints in a straightforward fashion. The main idea is to adopt a mixed finite‐element discretization scheme wherein not only displacements (as usual) but also stresses are the variables entering the formulation. By doing so, any stress constraint may be handled within the optimization procedure without resorting to post‐processing operation typical of displacement‐based techniques that may also cause a loss in accuracy in stress computation if no smoothing of the stress is performed. Two dual variational principles of Hellinger–Reissner type are presented in continuous and discrete form that, which included in a rather general topology optimization problem in the presence of stress constraints that is solved by the method of moving asymptotes (Int. J. Numer. Meth. Engng. 1984; 24 (3):359–373). Extensive numerical simulations are performed and ongoing extensions outlined, including the optimization of elastoplastic and incompressible media.

The purpose of this work is to present a level set‐based approach for the structural topology optimization problem of mass minimization submitted to local stress constraints. The main contributions are threefold. First, the inclusion of local stress constraints by means of an augmented Lagrangian approach within the level set context. Second, the proposition of a constraint procedure that accounts for a continuous activation/deactivation of a finite number of local stress constraints during the optimization sequence. Finally, the proposition of a logarithmic scaling of the level set normal velocity as an additional regularization technique in order to improve the minimization sequence. A set of benchmark tests in two dimensions achieving successful numerical results assesses the good behavior of the proposed method. In these examples, it is verified that the algorithm is able to identify stress concentrations and drive the design to a feasible local minimum. Copyright © 2014 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. 相似文献

In spite of increasing interest in gradient‐based topology optimization of linkage mechanisms, it is still difficult to solve practical, realistic problems. Besides the apparent difficulty resulting from high nonlinearity, the optimization problem faces other major difficulties: difficulty to satisfy the discrete DOF condition with continuous design variables and lack of intrinsic mechanisms to generate distinct black‐and‐white layouts. To deal with the DOF issue, we propose a new formulation, which maximizes a single objective function, the energy transmittance efficiency. It is shown that the efficiency function maximization handles DOF redundancy and deficiency simultaneously. To obtain distinct linkage layouts, a common practice is to introduce an artificial mass constraint and/or to remove unnecessary links during optimization. However, we do not use any artificial mass constraint but post‐process the optimized result to obtain the final layout by a special post‐processing algorithm. In this study, the linkage design model consists of nonlinear ground bars and zero‐length springs. The springs are used to fix bar‐connecting nodes to the ground, generating pinned joints. After verifying the effectiveness of the proposed approach for four‐bar linkage synthesis, we synthesize an automobile steering mechanism satisfying the Ackermann condition. The steering mechanism problem is solved here for the first time. Copyright © 2014 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. 相似文献

This paper presents a mixed integer programming (MIP) formulation for robust topology optimization of trusses subjected to the stress constraints under the uncertain load. A design‐dependent uncertainty model of the external load is proposed for dealing with the variation of truss topology in the course of optimization. For a truss with the discrete member cross‐sectional areas, it is shown that the robust topology optimization problem can be reduced to an MIP problem, which is solved globally. Numerical examples illustrate that the robust optimal topology of a truss depends on the magnitude of uncertainty. Copyright © 2010 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. 相似文献

屈曲与应力约束下连续体结构的拓扑优化 总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1
基于ICM(独立、连续、映射)方法建立了以结构重量最小为目标,以屈曲临界力、应力同时为约束的连续体拓扑优化模型:采用独立的连续拓扑变量,借助泰勒展式、过滤函数将目标函数作二阶近似展开;借助瑞利商、泰勒展式、过滤函数将屈曲约束化为近似显函数;将应力这种局部性约束采用全局化策略进行处理,即借助第四强度理论、过滤函数将应力局部性约束转化为应变能约束,大大减少了灵敏度分析的计算量;将优化模型转化为对偶规划,减少了设计变量的数目,并利用序列二次规划求解,缩小了模型的求解规模。数值算例表明:该方法可以有效地解决屈曲与应力约束共同作用的连续体拓扑优化问题,能够得到合理的拓扑结构,并有较高的计算效率。 相似文献

由于应力约束按单元计,加之多工况,使得连续体结构拓扑优化由于约束数目太多,导致应力敏度分析计算量太大而无法接受。基于第四强度理论提出了应力约束条件全局化处理的方法,化为全局替代约束——总应变能约束,用ICM方法对总应变能约束条件下的连续体结构拓扑优化进行建模及求解,其过程分为三步:第一步选择最大应变能对应的工况,在给定重量下求出最小结构总应变能;第二步提出一个数值经验公式,借助第一步的结果,计算出各工况下的许用总应变能;第三步以第二步计算出来的各工况的许用总应变能作为约束,以重量为目标建立模型并求解。顺便指出,第二步的处理方法可以处理载荷相差特别大的情况,即病态载荷情况。数值算例表明:全局性应力约束可以更好地得到传力路径,对于处理多工况问题具有优势。 相似文献

The problem of minimum compliance topology optimization of an elastic continuum is considered. A general continuous density–energy relation is assumed, including variable thickness sheet models and artificial power laws. To ensure existence of solutions, the design set is restricted by enforcing pointwise bounds on the density slopes. A finite element discretization procedure is described, and a proof of convergence of finite element solutions to exact solutions is given, as well as numerical examples obtained by a continuation/SLP (sequential linear programming) method. The convergence proof implies that checkerboard patterns and other numerical anomalies will not be present, or at least, that they can be made arbitrarily weak. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. 相似文献

The article presents an efficient solution method for structural topology optimization aimed at maximizing the fundamental frequency of vibration. Nowadays, this is still a challenging problem mainly because of the high computational cost required by spectral analyses. The proposed method relies on replacing the eigenvalue problem with a frequency response one, which can be tuned and efficiently solved by a multilevel procedure. Connections of the method with multigrid eigenvalue solvers are discussed in details. Several applications demonstrating more than 90% savings of the computational time are presented as well. 相似文献

The paper introduces an approach to stress‐constrained topology optimization through Heaviside projection–based constraint aggregation. The aggregation is calculated by integrating Heaviside projected local stresses over the design domain, and then, it is normalized over the total material volume. Effectively, the normalized integral measures the volume fraction of the material that has violated the stress constraint. Hence, with the Heaviside aggregated constraint, we can remove the stress failed material from the final design by constraining the integral to a threshold value near zero. An adaptive strategy is developed to select the threshold value for ensuring that the optimized design is conservative. By adding a stress penalty factor to the integrand, the Heaviside aggregated constraint can further penalize high stresses and becomes more stable and less sensitive to the selection of the threshold value. Our two‐dimensional and three‐dimensional numerical experiments demonstrate that the single Heaviside aggregated stress constraint can efficiently control the local stress level. Compared with the traditional approaches based on the Kreisselmeier‐Steinhauser and p‐norm aggregations, the Heaviside aggregation–based single constraint can substantially reduce computational cost on sensitivity analysis. These advantages make it possible to apply the proposed approach to large‐scale stress‐constrained problems. 相似文献

Recently, numerous modified versions of immune algorithms (IAs) have been adopted in both theoretical and practical applications. However, few have been proposed for solving structural topology optimization problems. In addition, the design connectivity handling and one‐node connected hinge prevention, which are vital in the application of population‐based methods with binary representation for structural topology optimization, have not been applied to IAs in the literature. A stress‐enhanced clonal selection algorithm (SECSA) incorporating an IA with a dominance‐based constraint‐handling technique and a new stress‐enhanced hypermutation operator is proposed to rectify those deficiencies. To demonstrate the high viability of the presented method, comparisons between the presented SECSA and genetic algorithm‐based methods were made on minimum compliance and minimum weight benchmark structural topology design problems in two‐dimensional, three‐dimensional, and multiloading cases. In each case, SECSA was shown to be competitive in terms of convergence speed and solution quality. The main goal of this study is not only to further explore the capabilities of IAs, but also to show that an IA with appropriate enhancements can lead to the development of attractive computational tools for global search in structural topology optimization.

Topology optimization can be a very useful tool for creating conceptual designs for vehicles. Structures suggested by topology optimization often turn out to be difficult to implement in manufacturing processes. Presently, rail vehicle structures are made by welding sheet metal parts. This leads to many complications and increased weight of the vehicle. This article presents a new design concept for modern rail vehicle structures made of standardized, thin-walled, closed, steel profiles that fulfil the stress and manufacturing requirements. For this purpose, standard software for topology optimization was used with a new way of preprocessing the design space. The design methodology is illustrated by an example of the topology optimization of a freight railcar. It is shown that the methodology turns out to be a useful tool for obtaining optimal structure design that fulfils the assumed manufacturing constraints. 相似文献

This article presents the design of a metamaterial for the shear layer of a nonpneumatic tire using topology optimization, under stress and buckling constraints. These constraints are implemented for a smooth maximum function using global aggregation. A linear elastic finite element model is used, implementing solid isotropic material with penalization. Design sensitivities are determined by the adjoint method. The method of moving asymptotes is used to solve the numerical optimization problem. Two different optimization statements are used. Each requires a compliance limit and some aspect of continuation. The buckling analysis is linear, considering the generalized eigenvalue problem of the conventional and stress stiffness matrices. Various symmetries, base materials, and starting geometries are considered. This leads to novel topologies that all achieve the target effective shear modulus of 10 MPa, while staying within the stress constraint. The stress-only designs generally were susceptible to buckling failure. A family of designs (columnar, noninterconnected representative unit cells) that emerge in this study appears to exhibit favorable properties for this application. 相似文献
