Filters in topology optimization

چکیده
In this article, a modi!ed (‘!ltered’) version of the minimum compliance topology optimization problem is studied. The direct dependence of the material properties on its pointwise density is replaced by a regularization of the density !eld by the mean of a convolution operator. In this setting it is possible to establish the existence of solutions. Moreover, convergence of an approximation by means of !nite elements can be obtained. This is illustrated through some numerical experiments. The ‘!ltering’ technique is also shown to cope with two important numerical problems in topology optimization, checkerboards and mesh dependent designs. Copyright ? 2001 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Density filters for topology optimization based on the geometric and harmonic means
1. Abstract In the ground structure approach for topology optimization, some restriction method is needed to avoid mesh dependent solutions and enforce a length scale on the optimized structure. This talk presents new restriction methods in the form of four different density filters to be used within a relaxation/penalization method like SIMP. The first two are based on the geometric mean, whil...
متن کاملSTABILIZER TOPOLOGY OF HOOPS
In this paper, we introduce the concepts of right, left and product stabilizers on hoops and study some properties and the relation between them. And we try to find that how they can be equal and investigate that under what condition they can be filter, implicative filter, fantastic and positive implicative filter. Also, we prove that right and product stabilizers are filters and if they are ...
متن کاملZero sets in pointfree topology and strongly $z$-ideals
In this paper a particular case of z-ideals, called strongly z-ideal, is defined by introducing zero sets in pointfree topology. We study strongly z-ideals, their relation with z-ideals and the role of spatiality in this relation. For strongly z-ideals, we analyze prime ideals using the concept of zero sets. Moreover, it is proven that the intersection of all zero sets of a prime ideal of C(L),...
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 کاملEFFICIENT SIMULATION FOR OPTIMIZATION OF TOPOLOGY, SHAPE AND SIZE OF MODULAR TRUSS STRUCTURES
The prevalent strategy in the topology optimization phase is to select a subset of members existing in an excessively connected truss, called Ground Structure, such that the overall weight or cost is minimized. Although finding a good topology significantly reduces the overall cost, excessive growth of the size of topology space combined with existence of varied types of design variables challe...
متن کاملA NEW HYBRID ALGORITHM FOR TOPOLOGY OPTIMIZATION OF DOUBLE LAYER GRIGS
In this paper, for topology optimization of double layer grids, an efficient optimization method is presented by combination of Imperialist Competitive Algorithm (ICA) and Gravitational Search Algorithm (GSA) which is called ICA-GSA method. The present hybrid method is based on ICA but the moving of countries toward their relevant imperialist is done using the la...
