Isogeometric 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 کاملIsogeometric Topology Optimization by Using Optimality Criteria and Implicit Function
A new method for structural topology optimization is introduced which employs the Isogeometric Analysis (IA) method. In this approach, an implicit function is constructed over the whole domain by Non-Uniform Rational B-Spline (NURBS) basis functions which are also used for creating the geometry and the surface of solution of the elasticity problem. Inspiration of the level set method zero level...
متن کاملISOGEOMETRIC TOPOLOGY OPTIMIZATION OF STRUCTURES BY USING MMA
The Isogeometric Analysis (IA) method is applied for structural topology optimization instead of the finite element method. For this purpose, the material density is considered as a continuous function throughout the design domain and approximated by the Non-Uniform Rational B-Spline (NURBS) basis functions. The coordinates of control points which are also used for constructing the density func...
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 کاملTopology optimization using regularized intermediate density control
We consider topology optimization of elastic continua. The elasticity tensor is assumed to depend linearly on the design function (density) as in the variable thickness sheet problem. In order to get ``black±white'' design pictures, the intermediate density values are controlled by an explicit constraint. This constraint is regularized by including a compact and linear operator S to guarantee e...
