Topology Optimization using an Explicit Interface Representation
Current methods for topology optimization primarily represent the interface between solid and void implicitly on fixed grids. In contrast, shape optimization methods represent the interface explicitly, but do not allow for any topological changes to the structure. Using an explicit interface representation has a number of advantages as described below. Consequently, we propose to use the Deform...
متن کاملAn adjacency representation for structural topology optimization using genetic algorithm
A new approach for continuum structural topology optimization using genetic algorithms is presented in this paper. The proposed approach is based on a representation by adjacency where the principle is founded on the concept of connectivity of finite elements, considered as cells. This principle is expressed by an adjacency matrix similar to that used in the graph theory. The encoding of the st...
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 کاملAn explicit feature control approach in structural topology optimization
1. Abstract The present paper aims to address a long-standing and challenging problem in structural topology optimization: explicit feature control of the optimal topology. The basic idea is to introduce feature control constraints which are closely related to structural skeleton, which is a key concept in mathematical morphology and a powerful tool for describing structural topologies. Benefit...
متن کاملTopology optimization using an adaptive genetic algorithm and a new geometric representation
A new method for structural topology optimization using a genetic algorithm is proposed in this paper. This method uses a topology representation by Bézier curves with varying thickness material distribution in a finite element model. Two groups of variables are considered: control points of Bézier curves and thickness values for each curve. This new technique avoids the formation of disconnect...
