Abstract
In this work, an enhanced greedy algorithm is developed for failure resistant design of two-phase composites against delamination. Possessing the merits of a greedy algorithm, i.e. easy-to-implement and gradient-free, the computational efficiency is significantly improved. An objective functional based on interface elements is used to represent the failure resistance and evaluated by finite element computations. The search domain for each iteration is reduced by a heuristic strategy, thus leading to a reduced number of required finite element computations. Additionally, a criterion is introduced to adaptively determine the number of switching subvolumes for each correction step, leading to a reduced number of iterations. A numerical study shows that the computational complexity of the proposed algorithm is significantly reduced on the basis of an existing algorithm. Furthermore, we develop three different generation schemes for initial solutions and conduct a comparative study on them. A maximal speed-up factor of 12.5 compared to the existing algorithm is achieved.
