Abstract
SummaryIn this work, an asymptotically concentrated topology optimization method based on the solid isotropic material with logistic function interpolation is proposed. The asymptotically concentrated method is introduced into the process of optimization cycle after updating the design variables. At the same time, with the use of the solid isotropic material with logistic function interpolation, all the candidate densities are reasonably polarized, relying on the characteristic of the interpolation curve itself. The asymptotically concentrated method can effectively suppress the generation of intermediate density and speed up the process of updating the design variables, hence improving the optimization efficiency. Moreover, the above polarization can weaken the influence of low‐related‐density elements and enhance the influence of high‐related‐density elements. For the single‐material topology optimization problem, gray‐scale elements can be effectively eliminated, and clear boundary and smaller compliance can be obtained by this method. For the multimaterial topology optimization problem, minimum compliance with high efficiency can be achieved by this method. The proposed method mainly includes the following advantages: concentrated density variables, reasonable interpolation, high computational efficiency, and good topological results.
