Adaptive topology optimization of elastoplastic structures
Material topology optimization is applied to determine the basic layout of a structure. The nonlinear structural response, e.g. buckling or plasticity, must be considered in order to generate a reliable design by structural optimization. In the present paper adaptive material topology optimization is extended to elastoplasticity. The objective of the design problem is to maximize the structural ductility which is defined by the integral of the strain energy over a given range of a prescribed displacement. The design variables are the densities of the finite elements. The optimization problem is solved by a gradient based OC algorithm (optimality criteria). An elastoplastic von Mises material with linear, isotropic work-hardening/softening for small strain is used. A geometrically adaptive optimization procedure is applied in order to avoid artificial stress singularities and to icrease the numerical efficiency of the optimization process. The geometric parametrization of the design model is adapted during the optimization process. Elastoplastic structural analysis is outlined. An efficient algorithm is introduced to determine the gradient of the ductility with respect to the densities of the finite elements. The overall optimization procedure is presented and verified with design problems for plane stress conditions.
