TOPOLOGY OPTIMIZATION OF STRUCTURES UNDER TRANSIENT LOADS
In this article, an efficient methodology is presented to optimize the topology of structural systems under transient loads. Equivalent static loads concept is used to deal with transient loads and to solve an alternate quasi-static optimization problem. The maximum strain energy of the structure under the transient load during the loading interval is used as objective function. The objective f...
متن کاملIsogeometric Topology Optimization of Continuum Structures using an Evolutionary Algorithm
Topology optimization has been an interesting area of research in recent years. The main focus of this paper is to use an evolutionary swarm intelligence algorithm to perform Isogeometric Topology optimization of continuum structures. A two-dimensional plate is analyzed statically and the nodal displacements are calculated. The nodal displacements using Isogeometric analysis are found to be ...
متن کاملTOPOLOGY OPTIMIZATION OF SPACE STRUCTURES USING ANT COLONY METHOD
In this article, the ant colony method is utilized for topology optimization of space structures. Strain energy of the structure is minimized while the material volume is limited to a certain amount. In other words, the stiffest possible structure is sought when certain given materials are used. In addition, a noise cleaning technique is addressed to prevent undesirable members in optimum topol...
متن کاملParameter-based topology optimization for crashworthiness structures
Abstract Topology optimization methods like the homogenization method are very efficient for statically and dynamically loaded structures, but the use of these methods for the topology optimization of crashworthiness structures runs into a lot of problems. Especially in structural contact problems, the optimization functions are not smooth and the use of local sensitivity information is not suc...
متن کاملShape-topology Optimization for Designing Shell Structures
In this study, we propose a new approach for creating the optimal shape and topology of shell structures. By implementing topology optimization in the variable design domain which is optimized by shape optimization at every iteration, the optimal topology and shape is simultaneously determined. The free-form optimization method and the SIMP method for shells are used for shape and topology opti...
