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.

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.

This paper deals with topology optimization of discretized continuum structures. It is shown that a large class of non‐linear 0–1 topology optimization problems, including stress‐ and displacement‐constrained minimum weight problems, can equivalently be modelled as linear mixed 0–1 programs. The modelling approach is applied to some test problems which are solved to global optimality. Copyright © 2003 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. 相似文献

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

A bidirectional evolutionary structural optimization algorithm is presented, which employs integer linear programming to compute optimal solutions to topology optimization problems with the objective of mass minimization. The objective and constraint functions are linearized using Taylor's first-order approximation, thereby allowing the method to handle all types of constraints without using Lagrange multipliers or sensitivity thresholds. A relaxation of the constraint targets is performed such that only small changes in topology are allowed during a single update, thus ensuring the existence of feasible solutions. A variety of problems are solved, demonstrating the ability of the method to easily handle a number of structural constraints, including compliance, stress, buckling, frequency, and displacement. This is followed by an example with multiple structural constraints and, finally, the method is demonstrated on a wing-box, showing that topology optimization for mass minimization of real-world structures can be considered using the proposed methodology. 相似文献

In this paper, we present a hierarchical optimization method for finding feasible true 0–1 solutions to finite‐element‐based topology design problems. The topology design problems are initially modelled as non‐convex mixed 0–1 programs. The hierarchical optimization method is applied to the problem of minimizing the weight of a structure subject to displacement and local design‐dependent stress constraints. The method iteratively treats a sequence of problems of increasing size of the same type as the original problem. The problems are defined on a design mesh which is initially coarse and then successively refined as needed. At each level of design mesh refinement, a neighbourhood optimization method is used to treat the problem considered. The non‐convex topology design problems are equivalently reformulated as convex all‐quadratic mixed 0–1 programs. This reformulation enables the use of methods from global optimization, which have only recently become available, for solving the problems in the sequence. Numerical examples of topology design problems of continuum structures with local stress and displacement constraints are presented. Copyright © 2006 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. 相似文献

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

拓扑优化方法经过几十年的发展,已成功应用于机械工程、航空航天、电磁等领域的构型设计中。然而,由于制造工艺的限制,拓扑优化结果通常无法直接应用,需根据工艺要求进行修改,因此在拓扑优化模型中考虑制造约束成为重要的研究方向。其中,尺寸控制广泛存在于大部分制造工艺中,主要包括最小尺寸控制与最大尺寸控制。该文提出了一种基于映射的拓扑优化最大尺寸控制方法,构造了一种新的映射模型,对结构中不满足最大尺寸约束的中心单元密度进行惩罚,在不引入任何约束条件的情况下实现了对结构最大尺寸的控制。此外,该文将该方法中的惩罚转变为一个全局约束条件后与具有最小尺寸控制功能的拓扑优化鲁棒列式相结合,实现了对构件的最大最小尺寸协同控制。数值算例表明了该方法的有效性。 相似文献

This paper deals with topology optimization of load‐carrying structures defined on discretized continuum design domains. In particular, the minimum compliance problem with stress constraints is considered. The finite element method is used to discretize the design domain into n finite elements and the design of a certain structure is represented by an n‐dimensional binary design variable vector. In order to solve the problems, the binary constraints on the design variables are initially relaxed and the problems are solved with both the method of moving asymptotes and the sparse non‐linear optimizer solvers for continuous optimization in order to compare the two solvers. By solving a sequence of problems with a sequentially lower limit on the amount of grey allowed, designs that are close to ‘black‐and‐white’ are obtained. In order to get locally optimal solutions that are purely {0, 1}n, a sequential linear integer programming method is applied as a post‐processor. Numerical results are presented for some different test problems. Copyright © 2008 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. 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

We consider equivalent reformulations of nonlinear mixed 0–1 optimization problems arising from a broad range of recent applications
of topology optimization for the design of continuum structures and composite materials. We show that the considered problems
can equivalently be cast as either linear or convex quadratic mixed 0–1 programs. The reformulations provide new insight into the structure of the problems and may provide a foundation
for the development of new methods and heuristics for solving topology optimization problems. The applications considered
are maximum stiffness design of structures subjected to static or periodic loads, design of composite materials with prescribed
homogenized properties using the inverse homogenization approach, optimization of fluids in Stokes flow, design of band gap
structures, and multi-physics problems involving coupled steady-state heat conduction and linear elasticity. Several numerical
examples of maximum stiffness design of truss structures are presented.

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

In previous studies of congestion pricing, the objective was to minimize total travel time or maximize total social welfare of all travellers in transportation networks. In this article, a new objective function of maximizing the reserve capacity of networks is proposed, and a new bi-level model is formulated for the implementation of congestion pricing, where either link tolls or path tolls are charged. Since the bi-level model is neither convex nor differentiable, the traditional gradient based methods cannot solve the problem for a global optimum. To circumvent the difficulty of computing, the congestion pricing problem of simultaneous toll link and toll level optimization is formulated as a single-level optimization program with equilibrium constraints. Then the equilibrium constraints, the travel time functions, and toll location constraints are all linearized by introducing mixed integer variables. As a result, the overall problem is formulated into a mixed-integer linear program, which can determine the global optimum. Numerical results show that this approach is effective and efficient. 相似文献

In this article, a unified framework is introduced for robust structural topology optimization for 2D and 3D continuum and truss problems. The uncertain material parameters are modelled using a spatially correlated random field which is discretized using the Karhunen–Loève expansion. The spectral stochastic finite element method is used, with a polynomial chaos expansion to propagate uncertainties in the material characteristics to the response quantities. In continuum structures, either 2D or 3D random fields are modelled across the structural domain, while representation of the material uncertainties in linear truss elements is achieved by expanding 1D random fields along the length of the elements. Several examples demonstrate the method on both 2D and 3D continuum and truss structures, showing that this common framework provides an interesting insight into robustness versus optimality for the test problems considered. 相似文献

This work addresses the use of the topology optimization approach to the design of robust continuum structures under the hypothesis of uncertainties with known second‐order statistics. To this end, the second‐order perturbation approach is used to model the response of the structure, and the midpoint discretization technique is used to discretize the random field. The objective function is a weighted sum of the expected compliance and its standard deviation. The optimization problem is solved using a traditional optimality criteria method. It is shown that the correlation length plays an important role in the obtained topology and statistical moments when only the minimization of the standard deviation is considered, resulting in more and thinner reinforcements as the correlation length decreases. It is also shown that the minimization of the expected value is close to the minimization of the deterministic compliance for small variations of Young's modulus.

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
