Phase-Field Relaxation of Topology Optimization with Local Stress Constraints
نویسندگان
چکیده
We introduce a new relaxation scheme for structural topology optimization problems with local stress constraints based on a phase-field method. The starting point of the relaxation is a reformulation of the material problem involving linear and 0–1 constraints only. The 0–1 constraints are then relaxed and approximated by a Cahn-Hilliard type penalty in the objective functional, which yields convergence of minimizers to 0–1 designs as the penalty parameter decreases to zero. A major advantage of this kind of relaxation opposed to standard approaches is a uniform constraint qualification that is satisfied for any positive value of the penalization parameter. The relaxation scheme yields a large-scale optimization problem with a high number of linear inequality constraints. We discretize the problem by finite elements and solve the arising finite-dimensional programming problems by a primal-dual interior point method. Numerical experiments for problems with stress constraints based on different criteria indicate the success and robustness of the new approach.

We consider the topology optimization problem with local stress constraints. In the basic formulation we have a pde-constrained optimization problem, where the finite element and design analysis are solved simultaneously. Here we introduce a new relaxation scheme based on a phase-field method. The starting point of this relaxation is a reformulation of the constraints of the optimization proble...

متن کاملAn enhanced aggregation method for stress-constrained topology optimization problems
1. Abstract For the topology optimization with local stress constraints on all the elements, conventional “global constraint methods” may introduce high nonlinearity to the global constraint function and cannot adequately control the local stress state. This study aims to develop an enhanced aggregation method that not only effectively reduces the number of constraints in the search process, bu...
