Wachspress Elements for Topology Optimization
Traditionally, standard Lagrangian-type finite elements, such as linear quads and triangles, have been the elements of choice in the field of topology optimization. However, finite element meshes with these conventional elements exhibit the well-known "checkerboard" pathology in the iterative solution of topology optimization problems. A feasible alternative to eliminate such long-standing prob...
متن کاملStructural Topology Optimization Using Finite Element Based Level Set Method Structural Topology Optimization Using Finite Element Based Level Set Method
A finite element based level set method is proposed for structural topology optimization. Because both the level set equation and the reinitialization equation are advection dominated partial differential equations, the standard Galerkin finite element method may produce oscillating results. In this paper, both equations are solved using a streamline diffusion finite element method (SDFEM). The...
متن کاملTopology optimization using non-conforming finite elements: three-dimensional case
As in the case of two-dimensional topology design optimization, numerical instability problems similar to the formation of two-dimensional checkerboard patterns occur if the standard eight-node conforming brick element is used. Motivated by the recent success of the two-dimensional non-conforming elements in completely eliminating checkerboard patterns, we aim at investigating the performance o...
متن کاملSTRUCTURAL DAMAGE DETECTION BY USING TOPOLOGY OPTIMIZATION FOR PLANE STRESS PROBLEMS
This paper aims to introduce topology optimization as a robust tool for damage detection in plane stress structures. Two objective functions based on natural frequencies and shape modes of the structure are defined to minimize discrepancy between dynamic specifications of the real damaged structure and the updating model. Damage area is assumed as a porous material where amount of porosity sign...
متن کاملA BINARY LEVEL SET METHOD FOR STRUCTURAL TOPOLOGY OPTIMIZATION
This paper proposes an effective algorithm based on the level set method (LSM) to solve shape and topology optimization problems. Since the conventional LSM has several limitations, a binary level set method (BLSM) is used instead. In the BLSM, the level set function can only take 1 and -1 values at convergence. Thus, it is related to phase-field methods. We don’t need to solve the Hamilton-Jac...
