Abstract

In this paper, a projection method is introduced which is used in topology design optimization. In the projection method, each active design variable is projected onto the design domain depending on the shape and size of the projection functions, and the finite element under this projection receives a solid material. Furthermore, the size of the projection function defines the minimum length scale of the structural members. Therefore, a designer can easily apply design constraints without complicated post-processing procedure. In addition, the projection method can be combined with the homogenization theory, and applied to material design problem for composite materials. Topology design optimization for the unit-cell of the periodic structures can maximize the effective material properties, which yields the optimal material distribution with maximum bulk or shear moduli under a given volume fraction.

본 논문은 확장된 프로젝션 기법을 사용한 위상 최적설계 방법을 다루고 있다. 다양한 형상과 길이 스케일을 가지는 프로젝션 함수를 개발해 위상 최적설계 기법에 적용시킴으로써, 복합재료의 설계에서 형상 및 크기가 미리 주어진 보강재의 최적 배치를 위상 최적설계를 통해 결정할 수 있음을 확인하였다. 또한 이와 같은 프로젝션 기법이 균질화법과 결합되어 체적탄성률 또는 전단탄성률 등의 유효 재료특성을 최대화시키는 단위 구조를 설계함으로써, 주기 구조를 가지는 복합재료에서 보강재의 최적 배치를 결정하고 그 유효 재료특성값을 수치적으로 계산할 수 있음을 여러 수치 예제들을 통해서 검증하였다.
