Topology Optimization of Compliant Mechanisms Using the Homogenization Method
A procedure to obtain a topology of an optimal structure considering flexibility is presented. The methodology is based on a mutual energy concept for formulation of flexibility and the homogenization method. A multi-objective optimization problem is formulated as an application of compliant mechanism design. Some examples of the design of compliant mechanisms for plane structures are presented...
متن کاملTopology optimization in magnetic "elds using the homogenization design method
To improve the performance of electric machinery, it is necessary to obtain the optimal topology of a structure in magnetic "elds. The homogenization design method is applied to obtain the optimal topology. In the method, the change of inner hole size and rotational angle of unit cell determines the optimal material distribution in a design domain and this distribution de"nes an optimal topolog...
متن کاملTopology optimization for minimum stress design with the homogenization method
This paper is devoted to minimum stress design in structural optimization. The homogenization method is extended to such a framework and yields an efficient numerical algorithm for topology optimization. The main idea is to use a partial relaxation of the problem obtained by introducing special microstructures which are sequential laminated composites. Indeed, the so-called corrector terms of s...
متن کاملTopology and Dimensional Synthesis of Compliant Mechanisms Using Discrete Optimization
A unified approach to topology and dimensional synthesis of compliant mechanisms is presented in this paper as a discrete optimization problem employing both discrete (topology) and continuous (size) variables. The synthesis scheme features a design parameterization method that treats load paths as discrete design variables to represent various topologies, thereby ensuring structural connectivi...
متن کاملSparse monolithic compliant mechanisms using continuum structural topology optimization
A formulation for design of continuous, hinge-free compliant mechanisms is developed and examined within a continuum structural topology optimization framework. The formulation makes use of two distinctly different sets of springs, the first of which are artificial springs of relatively large stiffness attached to the input and output ports of the mechanism model, and the second of which are sp...
