A systematic topology optimization approach for optimalstiffener design

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingConference contribution

Abstract

A systematic topology optimization approach is developedto design the optimal stiffener of three dimensional shell/platestructures in static and eigenvalue problems. Optimal stiffeneraaaaaaaaadesign involves the determination of the best location and orientation. In this paper, the stiffener location problem is solved by amicrostructure-based design domain method and the orientationprobelm is modeled as an optimal orientation problem of equivalent orthotropic materials, which is solved by a newly developedenergy based method. Examples are presented to demonstratethe application of the proposed approach.
