Multi-objective topology optimization to reduce vibration of micro-satellite primary supporting structure

Abstract

We applied multi-objective topology optimization to reduce vibration of the primary supporting structure of video satellites in the frequency domain. The optimal structure is obtained by the multi-objective topology optimization with stiffness and random vibration response as the targets. This is compared with the optimal structure obtained by single-objective topology optimization with stiffness as the target. The dynamic analysis results show that the root mean square values in all three spatial directions of the optimal structure by the multi-objective optimization are smaller than that of the single-objective optimization. The maximal declining value reaches 2.94 g, and the maximal declining degree is 30.6 %. The maximal declining response value on the top of the cylinder reaches 3.87 g with a degree of 33.0 %. The results demonstrate that the multi-objective optimization method significantly improves the vibration response of the base plate, which therefore suppressed the vibration of the satellite. An acceptance condition experiment is performed for the satellite with the optimal base plate from the multi-objective optimization. The dynamic analysis results match well with the experimental data, and verify the applicability of the multi-objective optimization.

Deformation Detection Model of High-Rise Building Foundation Pit Support Structure Based on Neural Network and Wireless Communication

“…Obviously, the key to the smooth progress of deep foundation pit construction lies in the level of support structure technology [6]. As we all know, the construction of a deep foundation pit project is a highly integrated and systematic project, which is susceptible to various factors, such as geotechnical structure and construction technology, but there are some related theories that need to be further developed and improved [7,8]. Due to the various complicated conditions in the actual construction of deep foundation pits and the lack of relevant theories and lack of experience, engineering accidents occur frequently [9].…”

On Topology Optimisation Methods and Additive Manufacture for Satellite Structures: A Review

“…The authors of [511] reduce the vibration effects in the primary supporting structure of a microsatellite, performing a single objective TO (SIMP method is applied) in the software OptiStruct ® .…”

“…However, just checking that the optimal design complies with such a lower bound in frequency does not mean that the first vibration mode is optimised. Thus, in order to take vibration modes into account, works like [511] propose a multi-objective approach by formulating frequency as part of the objective function to optimise. In such a work, authors demonstrate that a multi-objective approach gives comparably better results than the uni-objective approach, inviting authors to continue exploring ways of performing satellite TO.…”

Optimization design of photoelectric turntable structure based on RBF algorithm and multi-island genetic algorithm

“…Qi-yan TAN et al took ensuring the size of the laser turntable core structure as the optimization parameter, and used the first order natural frequency and maximum static deformation of the core structure to meet the design indicators as constraints. Through finite element optimization, the light weight of the core structure was achieved [5] . Zhao-xin MEN et al used the thickness of the three-axis turntable frame as the optimization parameter, constructed fuzzy constraints based on the first-order natural frequency and maximum deformation of the frame, and used fuzzy optimization methods to optimize the size of the turntable frame [6] .…”
