Abstract

A simple nonlinear programming(NLP) formulation for the optimal topology problem of structures is developed and examined. The NLP formulation is general, and can handle arbitrary objective functions and arbitrary stress, displacement constraints under multiple loading conditions. The formulation is based on simultaneous analysis and design approach to avoid stiffness matrix singularity resulting from zero sizing variables. By embedding the equilibrium equations as equality constraints in the nonlinear programming problem, we avoid constructing and factoring a system stiffness matrix, and hence avoid its singularity. The examples demonstrate that the formulation is effective for finding an optimal solution, and shown to be robust under a variety of constraints.

본 연구에서는 구조체의 위상학적 최적화를 위한 비선형 formulation(NLP)가 개발, 검토되었다. 이 NLP는 multiple-loading하에서 임의의 오브젝티브 함수, 응력, 변위 제약조건들을 쉽게 다룰 수가 있다. 또한 이 NLP는 해석과 최적화 디자인을 동시에 실시함으로써 요소 사이즈가 영으로 접근함에 따른 강성 매트릭스의 singularity를 피할 수 있다. 즉, 평형 방정식을 등제약조건으로 치환함으로써 강성 매트릭스 그 자체나 그의 역매트릭스를 구할 필요도 없어진다. 이 NLP는 multiple-loading conditon하에서 테스트되었으며, 이를 통해 이 NLP가 다양한 제약조건하에서 강력하게 작용함이 입증되었다.
