Abstract
A novel multi-objective topology optimization method is developed by simultaneously considering the diversity and uniformity of the optimum solutions in the objective and design variable spaces. To guarantee the diversity of the solutions, a configuration-based clustering scheme is developed and applied to avoid similar designs. By clustering Pareto optimal designs during the optimization process, the searching region in the objective space is gradually reduced, and the time cost required for optimization can be decreased. Additionally, the uniformity of the solutions in the objective space is considered using an adaptive weight determination scheme. The results of the benchmark problems confirm that using the proposed method could reduce the time cost. Furthermore, the overall Pareto front and configuration of different designs are also explored.
