Abstract

In this paper, a shape design optimization method for linearly elastic problems is developed using isogeometric approach. In many design optimization problems for practical engineering models, initial raw data usually come from a CAD modeler. Then, designers should convert the CAD data into finite element mesh data since most of conventional design optimization tools are based on finite element analysis. During this conversion, there are some numerical errors due to geometric approximation, which causes accuracy problems in response as well as design sensitivity analyses. As a remedy for this phenomenon, the isogeometric analysis method can be one of the promising approaches for the shape design optimization. The main idea of isogeometric approach is that the basis functions used in analysis is exactly the same as the ones representing the geometry. This geometrically exact model can be used in the shape sensitivity analysis and design optimization as well. Therefore the shape design sensitivity with high accuracy can be obtained, which is very essential for a gradient-based optimization. Through numerical examples, it is verified that the shape design optimization based on an isogeometic approach works well.

본 논문에서는 등기하 해석법을 이용하여 선형 탄성문제에 대한 형상 최적설계 기법을 개발하였다. 실용적인 공학문제에 대한 많은 최적설계 문제에서는 초기의 데이터가 CAD 모델로부터 주어지는 경우가 많다. 그러나 대부분의 설계 최적화 도구들은 유한요소법에 기초하고 있기 때문에 설계자는 이에 앞서 CAD 데이터를 유한요소 데이터로 변환해야 한다. 이 변환과정에서 기하 모델의 근사화에 따른 수치적 오류가 발생하게 되고, 이는 응답 해석뿐만 아니라 설계민감도 해석에 있어서도 정확도 문제를 발생시킨다. 이러한 점에서 등기하 해석법은 형상 최적설계에 있어서 유망한 방법론 중 하나가 될 수 있다. 등기하 해석법의 핵심은 해석에 사용되는 기저 함수와 기하 모델을 구성하는 함수가 정확히 일치한다는 것이다. 이러한 기하학적으로 정확한 모델은 설계민감도 해석 및 형상 최적설계에 있어서도 사용된다. 이로 인해 높은 정확도의 설계민감도를 얻을 수 있으며, 이는 설계구배 기반의 최적화에 있어서 매우 중요하게 작용한다. 수치 예제를 통하여 본 논문에서 제시된 등기하 해석 기반의 형상 최적설계 방법론이 타당함을 확인하였다.
