Topology optimization in structural mechanics

Lewiński T., Czarnecki S., Dzierżanowski G., Sokół T.

Bulletin of the Polish Academy of Sciences. Technical Sciences

2013

Vol. 61, nr 1

23-37

Optimization of structural topology, called briefly: topology optimization, is a relatively new branch of structural optimization. Its aim is to create optimal structures, instead of correcting the dimensions or changing the shapes of initial designs. For being able to create the structure, one should have a possibility to handle the members of zero stiffness or admit the material of singular constitutive properties, i.e. void. In the present paper, four fundamental problems of topology optimization are discussed: Michell’s structures, two-material layout problem in light of the relaxation by homogenization theory, optimal shape design and the free material design. Their features are disclosed by presenting results for selected problems concerning the same feasible domain, boundary conditions and applied loading. This discussion provides a short introduction into current topics of topology optimization.

The lightest plane structures of a bounded stress level transmitting a point load to a circular support

The paper refers to the problem of Michell (1904) of finding the lightest fully stressed structures, composed of possibly infinite number of members, trasmitting a given load to a support forming a circle. The point load can be located within or outside the circle. The known analysis by Hemp (1973) is enhanced here by disclosing the explicit formulae for the weights of the ribs and the interior (fibrous domain). The optimal weight can be found by two manners: by applying the primal integral formula involving the density of the reinforcement or by computing the work of the load on the adjoint displacement. One of the aims of the paper is to show that both these formulae are equivalent. This identity is essential since in the case of point loads the equivalence of the primal and dual formulations has not been proved till now. Tlie analytically found layouts are confirmed by analysis of trusses (of finite number of joints) approximating the exact Michell-like solutions.
