Abstract
This work presents the framework to optimally design a cantilever for torsion mode frequency maximization. A cantilever design problem is formulated by topology and shape optimization methods. The torsion mode frequency is selected as an objective function, and the volume of the cantilever and the first bending mode frequency are constrained. Two optimization problems are defined and sequentially solved for the specific values. A new idea in this work is using a final topology obtained in the topology optimization problem as an initial shape in the shape optimization problem. The torsional mode frequency of the optimized cantilever is well improved in comparison with a nominal cantilever.
