Abstract:
Abstract This paper presents an innovative optimisation method for aircraft fuselage structural design. Detailed local finite element analyses of panel buckling are further processed such that they can be applied as failure constraints in the global level optimisation. The high computational costs involved with the finite element analyses are limited by advanced use of surrogate modelling methods. This yields high flexibility and efficiency in the local level optimisation procedure and allows for efficient gradient based search methods as well as more costly direct search optimisations like ge

Abstract:
This study proposed a framework of optimal design for flexible cable dome structures based on progressive collapse resistance. First, a quantitative evaluation method for nonlinear robustness based on robustness control theory to reflect the structural progressive collapse resistance was proposed. Second, an actual engineering structure was used as a case study to evaluate the effects of design parameters on structural robustness. Finally, a genetic algorithm was used as an optimisation algorithm to further optimise the element cross-section and the structural shape and obtain a combined optim

Abstract:
The optimisation of electric vehicle battery boxes while preserving their structural performance presents a formidable challenge. Many studies typically involve fewer than 10 design variables in their optimisation processes, a deviation from the reality of battery box design scenarios. The present study, for the first time, attempts to use sensitivity analysis to screen the design variables and achieve an efficient optimisation design with a large number of original design variables. Specifically, the sensitivity analysis method was proposed to screen a certain number of optimisation variables

Abstract:
In the last decades, the deployment of aluminium and its alloys in civil engineering fields has been increased significantly, due to the material’s special features accompanied by supportive technological and industrial development. However, the extent of aluminium structural applications in building activities is still rather limited and barriers related to strength and stability issues prevent its wider use. In the context of the extrusion characteristic, appropriate design in aluminium cross-sections can overcome inherent deficiencies, such as the material’s low elastic modulus.This paper i

Abstract:
The Bi-directional Evolutionary Structural Optimisation (BESO) method is a numerical topology optimisation method developed for use in finite element analysis. This paper presents a particular application of the BESO method to optimise the energy absorbing capability of metallic structures. The optimisation objective is to evolve a structural geometry of minimum mass while ensuring that the kinetic energy of an impacting projectile is reduced to a level which prevents perforation. Individual elements in a finite element mesh are deleted when a prescribed damage criterion is exceeded. An energy

Abstract:
This paper presents a proposal for applying optimisation schemes to calibrating 3D linear and non-linear finite element models for analysing structural walls made out of adobe. The calibration was based on laboratory data and that from previous research. Simulation and calibration involves a deep study of the conceptual model of adobe’s structural behaviour, mathematical and numerical models and the interrelationship with optimisation schemes arising from minimising an objective function. This is defined in terms of design variables and is restricted by the values of state variables. Both were

Abstract:
In the past 30 years , the field of structural topology optimization has developed rapidly, and many representative algorithms such as homogenization algorithm, solid isotropic material with penalization algorithms and evolutionary structural optimization algorithms have emerged. In this paper, the above three representative algorithms’ principles and development history are briefly introduced. Secondly, with the classic example of long cantilever beams, the three methods are compared in all aspects of the optimisation process, and their similarities and differences in terms of optimisation ob
