Temperature-based topological optimization method for comparing manufacturability constraint of connectivity

Abstract

The invention discloses a temperature-based topological optimization method for comparing manufacturability constraint of connectivity. The method aims at considering the connectivity constraint in the material additive manufacturing process into a topological optimization model so as to realize the one-time manufacturing of topological optimization structures. According to the method, high-thermal conductivity self-heating materials are virtually added at the openings and holes, thermal insulation materials are virtually added in the structural areas, the borders are set as heat dissipation borders, and the connectivity constraint of the structures is equivalent to that the maximum temperature value of the structures under a virtual temperature field is less than a constant. The physical significance of the constraint is clear, the mathematical expression form of the constraint is simple and the sensitivity information of the constraint can be solved, so that beneficial effect is brought to the solution on the basis of a gradient optimization algorithm. Through considering the connectivity constraint of the structures in the topological optimization design, the occurrence of inner enclosed openings and holes in the topological optimum structures can be effectively avoided; and when the material additive manufacturing process is adopted, one-time moulding can be carried out, so that secondary processing is avoided.
