Abstract
Topological optimization can realize the optimization of the mass distribution in the whole objective domain. Compared with morphology and size optimization, it has a higher degree of freedom. In this work, the three-dimensional topological optimization based on piezoelectric materials was discussed. Using the Optimality Criteria, topology optimization was applied to the cantilever piezoelectric transducer. The structure optimization was realized with the voltage and stiffness as the multi-objective function. The corresponding codes are given to show the process of optimization. With 70% of the origin volume, the bi-objective optimization increases the global stiffness by 50.9% and the voltage by 30%. As the iteration process shows, the results of bi-objective optimization prove the value of additive mass at the bottom of the cantilever. This lays the foundation for future piezoelectric transducer structural optimization. Using only stiffness as the objective, the final objective increases inconspicuously. Bi-objective optimization shows its superiority. There are quite a few papers that research the combination of stiffness and voltage, and research which studies three-dimensionality is a point of innovation. Furthermore, this is also the first time a piezoelectric topology code has been shared.

Summary
Fossil fuel energy reserves are declining and will fade out of human history in the near future. Piezoelectric topology focuses on improving the electromechanical conversion coefficient and reducing material flexibility, there is little multi-objective research exploring binding power output and natural frequency. This is because of the low manufacturability after topology design, and the emergence of 3D printing solves this problem. This research, which focuses on enhancing the voltage and stiffness of the piezoelectric energy harvester based on the 3D situation, is innovative This is the first time a piezoelectric topology code has been shared
