Abstract:In engineering applications, 2.5D mechanical parts are widely used, and can be further optimized using porous structure to meet the requirements of high specific strength and lightweight. In this paper, a topological design methodology driven by principal stress field was proposed to realize the optimal distribution of materials while keeping the macroscopic model unchanged. The shape of pores relies on the Voronoi-Tessellation by offsetting the closed Non-Uniform Rational B-Spline (NURBS) curves. To improve t… Show more
