Isogeometric topology optimization for continuum structures using density distribution function

Abstract: Summary This paper will propose a more effective and efficient topology optimization method based on isogeometric analysis, termed as isogeometric topology optimization (ITO), for continuum structures using an enhanced density distribution function (DDF). The construction of the DDF involves two steps. (1) Smoothness: the Shepard function is firstly utilized to improve the overall smoothness of nodal densities. Each nodal density is assigned to a control point of the geometry. (2) Continuity: the high‐order NU… Show more

“…interpolation with meshless field nodes and computational nodes. In a more recent article, topology optimization is applied using isogeometric analysis (IGA) (Dedè et al, 2012;Gao et al, 2020Gao et al, , 2019Hassani et al, 2013;Liu et al, 2018;Seo et al, 2010). The isogeometric analysis uses basis functions such as NURBS, which are equal for the geometry and the numerical analysis (Nguyen et al, 2015).…”

“…Later, Gao et al [69] constructed an enhanced density distribution function to develop a new ITO method. In the construction of the density distribution function, two steps are involved: (1) Smoothness: the Shepard function is firstly employed to improve the overall smoothness of the densities pre-defined at control points.…”

“…Liu et al [76] also addressed the stressconstrained topology optimization problem of plane stress and bending of thin plates using the ITO framework, where two stability transformation methods are developed to stabilize the optimization using the P-norm function for global stress constraint. Later, Gao et al [77] proposed a NURBS-based Multi-Material Interpolation (N-MMI) model in the ITO method [69] to develop a Multi-material ITO (M-ITO) method. Then Gao et al [78] employed the ITO method to study the design of auxetic metamaterials and the M-ITO method to discuss the optimization of auxetic composites, where a series of novel and interesting material microstructures with the auxetic property can be found.…”
