Abstract: | This article is devoted to topology optimization of trusses under multiple loading conditions. Compliance minimization with material volume constraint and stress-constrained minimum weight problem are considered. In the case of a single loading condition, it has been shown that the two problems have the same optimal topology. The possibility of extending this result for problems involving multiple loading conditions is examined in the present work. First, the compliance minimization problem is formulated as a multicriterion optimization problem, where the conflicting criteria are the compliances of the different loading conditions. Then, the optimal topologies of the stress-constrained minimum weight problem and the multicriterion compliance minimization problem for a simple test example are compared. The results verify that when multiple loading conditions are involved, the stress-constrained minimum weight topology cannot be obtained in general by solving the compliance minimization problem. |
