摘要
为了解决有限元拓扑优化的数值不稳定性问题,以紧支径向基函数作为Shepard插值函数的权函数,建立了紧支Shepard近似函数,用近似函数替代原有离散的密度场量和敏度场量,构造了光滑的密度场和敏度场,提出了用于拓扑优化的密度近似法和敏度近似法.数值算例表明:密度近似法和敏度近似法能有效解决棋盘格和网格依赖性等数值不稳定性问题,随着网格密度的增加,密度近似法得到的拓扑图形的灰度单元成正比增加,但敏度近似法能有效地抑制灰度单元.
To examine the numerical instabilities in the topology optimization by finite element method, compactly supported radial basis function was employed as the weight function of Shepard method to construct a compactly supported Shepard approximation function. Continuous density field and sensitivity field were established by replacing the original discrete density variables and sensitivity variables with the approximations based on Shepard function. Density approximation and sensitivity approximation methods were thus proposed for topology optimization. Numerical examples show that checkerboard pattern and mesh dependency problems can be solved by the density approximation and sensitivity approximation methods. As the refinement of mesh size increases, the gray scale elements of topology optimization results obtained from the density approximation method increase proportionally. However, the sensitivity approximation method can suppress the grey scale elements effectively.
