Abstract

With the purpose to overcome the numerical instabilities and to generate more distinct structural layouts in the topology optimization, by using bilinear interpolation function, a topology optimization model of density interpolation based on nodal density is established, smooth density field is constructed. This method can ensure that the density field in the fixed design domain owns C0 continuity, and checkerboard patterns are naturally avoided in the nature of mathematics. After adding the sensitivity filtering, the optimal structures are smoother and have lesser details, which is helpful for manufacturing. Two numerical examples show that not only checkerboard pattern can be solved by the proposed method, but also the middle density nodal can be suppressed effectively.
