Dynamical systems and topology optimization

Abstract: This paper uses a dynamical systems approach for studying the material distribution (density or SIMP) formulation of topology optimization of structures. Such an approach means that an ordinary differential equation, such that the objective function is decreasing along a solution trajectory of this equation, is constructed. For stiffness optimization two differential equations with this property are considered. By simple explicit Euler approximations of these equations, together with projection techniques to s… Show more

“…An explicit example of an objective function f(u,bold-italicρ) that is used in stiffness structural optimization and which also turns out to be involved in bone remodeling, , is the following: fG(ρ,bold-italicu)=12FTu+μi=1Eaiρi.The first term is usually known as compliance. The objective associated with this term is to minimize the projection of the displacement on the direction of the given load.…”

“…A structural optimisation viewpoint on evolution can be determined using optimality principles instead of evolution laws, see [10]. Thus, design space models and variational design sensitivity analysis based on an improved formulation of continuum mechanics contribute significantly to an enhanced formulation, see [11,12].…”
