SIMP-Based Evolutionary Structural Optimization Method for Topology Optimization

Article Preview

Abstract:

Unreasonable parameters may lead to a phenomenon of the numerical instability in evolutionary structural optimization method (ESO). In this paper the improved SIMP-based ESO method for the structural compliance sensitivity is presented to solve the problem of checkerboard pattern. The method depends on the sensitivity analysis results that indicate the contribution of each unit for the whole structural performance to delete and to add elements. At the same time, the method in combination with a sensitivity redistribution technology of controlling checkerboard pattern is used to realize that each element’s contribution or impact factor of the whole structural performance has a smooth transition. The instance shows that the method is reasonable and different parameters will affect the optimized results. The optimal values of parameters can be seen obviously finally.
