3 What is Structural Topology Optimization Size Optimization Shape Optimization Topology Optimization 3
4 Essentials of Continuum Structural Topology Optimization Discretization of structural domain Ω d into a mesh of nodes/volumes. Use discretized model to describe spatial distribution of design variables. Specify a micro-mechanical model to relate local design variables to local mechanical properties. Pose and solve an optimization problem to extremize structural performance subject to material usage constraints. 4
5 The Density or Volume-Fraction Formulation Mostwidelyusedtoday Design variables: b={φ 1, φ 2, φ 3,,φ n } where φ i is either an element or node-based volume fraction of the structural material. Micro-mechanical (or mixing) rule: σ(x) = φ p (X) σ solid (ε)+[1-φ p (X)] σ void (ε) applies more easily to general elastic and inelastic material models than do micro-structure based formulations. Observation: Thelargerp, the stronger the penalty against designs that utilize mixtures. 5

8 Displacement & Design Variable Interpolation Options Q4/U: unstable Q8/U: Slightly unstable Q4/Q4: slightly unstable Q9/U: Slightly unstable Q9/Q4: Stable 8
9 Established characteristics of continuum structural topology optimization as applied to civil structures The Q4/U element-based numerical formulation has severe instabilities that result in checkerboarding designs. As modeled, continuum structures are unrealistically heavy. lack the sparsity of civil structures continuum joints transmit moments cannot capture potential buckling behaviours The optimization problem admits a large number of locally optimal design solutions. Here, we attempt to address the first two problems. 9
10 Element-based design variables (Q4/U): solid volume-fraction design field can be discontinuous across element boundaries. this can lead to the phenomenon of checkerboarding design solutions. checkerboarding designs can be eliminated via a number of ad-hoc spatial filtering techniques. Node-based design variables (Q4/Q4): forces continuity of solid volume-fraction design variables across element boundaries. does not admit checkerboarding design solutions. requires no spatial filtering techniques. found by Jog & Haber (1996) to be slightly unstable 10
11 10 Layering instability appearing in Q4/Q4 formulation Cure with uniform mesh refinement. Cure with mesh refinement in direction of layering. 11
12 Structural Sparsity Issues Typically, large scale civil structures (as bridges) are sparse. occupy only a small fraction of the structure s envelope volume. Structural models must capture the characteristic sparsity to yield realistic performance. This typically requires fine meshing of structural domain Ω d. This adds to the computational expense of the analysis and design process. 12
13 Alternative Design Formulations to Achieve Stable, Sparse Structures Option 1: Perform structural analysis considering geometrically nonlinear behaviors and instabilities. Design/Optimize the structure to avoid instabilities. Option 2: Perform linearized buckling stability analysis on the structure. Design/Optimize to maximize minimum critical buckling load. 13
14 Option 1: Analysis/optimization of the structure as a nonlinear hyperelastic system.
