Abstract:
Fatigue, or failure of material due to repeated cyclic loading, is one of the most common causes of mechanical failures. The risk of fatigue in a load carrying component is often lowered by adding material, thereby reducing stresses. This increases the component weight, reducing the performance of the component and increasing its manufacturing cost. There is thus a need to design components to be as light as possible, while keeping the risk of fatigue at a low enough level, i.e. there is a need for optimization of the component subject to fatigue constraints.  This thesis deals with design aga

Abstract:
This thesis concerns structural optimization in conceptual design stages, for which constraints that are adapted to industrial requirements have been developed for topology optimization problems. The objective of the project has been to identify and solve problems that today prevent structural optimization from being used in a broader sense in the avionic industry; the main focus has been on stress and fatigue constraints in topology optimization. The thesis consists of two parts. The rst part gives an introduction to topology optimization and describes the developed methods for stress and fat

Additive manufacturing (AM) is a particularly useful manufacturing method for components designed using topology optimization (TO) since it allows for a greater part complexity than any traditional manufacturing method. However, the AM process potentially leads to anisotropic material properties due to the layer-by-layer buildup of parts and the fast and directional cooling. For Ti6Al4V tensile specimens built using electron beam melting (EBM), it has been observed that flat built specimens show superior strength and elastic moduli compared to top built specimens.

One of the drawbacks of EAs is that they require evaluations of numerous candidate solutions for convergence.

Abstract:
碩士<br>國立中興大學<br>機械工程學系所<br>103<br>Abstract Solving minimum-compliance topology optimization problems must calculate the sensitivity of compliance with respect to the design variable by using element strain energy. The constraint is the amount of material used in the design space. If other constraints are needed, their sensitivities must be computed. This is not an easy job. To avoid this difficulty, this thesis tries to use sizing optimization module in MSC / NASTRAN to solve 2-D topology optimization problems with all kinds of constraints. In doing so, no complicated sensitivity computati

Abstract:
In this study, an improved bit-array representation method for structural topology optimization using the Genetic Algorithm (GA) is proposed. The issue of representation degeneracy is fully addressed and the importance of structural connectivity in a design is further emphasized. To evaluate the constrained objective function, Deb's constraint handling approach is further developed to ensure that feasible individuals are always better than infeasible ones in the population to improve the efficiency of the GA. A hierarchical violation penalty method is proposed to drive the GA search towards th
