REDUCTION OF THE STRESS CONCENTRATION FACTOR OF PRISMATIC SPECIMENS THROUGH THE USE OF TOPOLOGICAL OPTIMIZATION

The article presents studies related to the reduction of stress concentration acting on prismatic specimen subject axial loading. Using ANSYS software, a topological optimization was performed which aims reduce stresses in endangered areas. aim identification geometric parameters accomplished after completion objective function is minimize engaged An analysis were show influence fatigue limit during different cycles. results study present graphical form.
