A Variance-Expected Compliance Model for Structural Optimization

Validation of a new variance-expected compliance model for structural optimization

In this paper, we first remember the mathematical formulation of an original varianceexpected compliance model used for structural optimization. It allows to find structures robust for the main load and its perturbations. In the second part, we valid this model on a 3-D benchmark test case and compare the obtained results with those given by a classical expected compliance model.

A variance-expected compliance approach for topology optimization

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 var...

An Expected Compliance Model Based on Topology Optimization for Designing Structures Submitted to Random Loads

In this paper, we focus in developing a stochastic model for topology optimization. The principal objective of such a model is to find robust structures for a given main load having a stochastic behavior. In the first part, we present the expected compliance formulation and some results in topology optimization. Then, in order to illustrate the interest of our approach, we consider a preliminar...
