Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of computational mechanics and structural optimization, and in particular to a barrier regularization method for nonlinear grid distortion problems. Background Art
[0002] In recent years, numerical analysis, structural optimization, and multi-physics simulation technologies that consider nonlinearity have been widely used in complex engineering design scenarios such as aerospace, intelligent manufacturing, 4D printing, and biomedicine. When geometric nonlinearity is involved, mesh distortion severely restricts computational stability and accuracy. Traditional numerical methods such as finite element and isogeometric methods often suffer from stiffness matrix singularities, numerical integration error accumulation, and solver convergence difficulties in large deformation analysis due to element Jacobian degeneration, element flipping, and severe distortion, which in turn affect subsequent structural optimization design. Existing technologies often rely on small stiffness adjustments or energy interpolation to alleviate these problems. However, these technologies suffer from the fact that small stiffnesses lack physical meaning, weakening the credibility of the results; they only alleviate stiffness singularities without directly controlling geometric distortion; and their applicability is limited, making them difficult to generalize.
[0003] In the process of geometric nonlinear analysis, common problems include unit mesh distortion, Jacobian degradation, and the resulting numerical instability. Therefore, there is an urgent need for an optimization technology that can suppress unit flipping and mesh degradation and improve the numerical stability of nonlinear numerical analysis and structural optimization.

It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention.
[0059] Example 1
[0060] like Figure 1As shown, this embodiment provides a barrier regularization method for nonlinear mesh distortion problems. By introducing the Jacobian determinant barrier regularization term into the system potential energy functional, mesh distortion control and numerical stability enhancement are achieved during the analysis and optimization process. The method includes a mesh distortion suppression analysis step and a topology optimization step based on cell geometry mapping. The specific implementation is as follows:

[0065] Step A4: construct a barrier regularization function ψ(J) based on the unit Jacobian;
[0066] In this embodiment, the barrier regularization function ψ(J) includes a logarithmic or other continuously differentiable form.
[0067] Step A5: Construct a modified potential energy functional including the barrier regularization term, and calculate the second-order variation of the modified potential energy functional to obtain the material stiffness matrix K mat , geometric stiffness matrix K geo and the barrier stiffness matrix K bar ;
[0068] In this embodiment, the barrier stiffness matrix K bar The effect is only significant on severely distorted elements, avoiding excessive punishment of normal elements, ensuring the stability and convergence of nonlinear analysis, and thus ensuring the physical rationality of topological evolution;

[0070] Step A7: Use the Newton-Simpson iteration method to determine the convergence of the displacement field. If it does not converge, update the load step size and return to step A3. If it converges, proceed to optimization step B.

[0082] Example 2
[0083] This embodiment takes a classic two-dimensional C-shaped beam as an example, verifies the grid distortion suppression effect of the barrier regularization method in geometrically nonlinear large deformation analysis based on the isogeometric analysis framework. The model geometry is shown in Figure 2 The beam size is 9 (long) x 9 (wide) x 1 (thick), the left side is fixed, the upper and lower ends of the beam are subjected to concentrated loads -2 and 2, and the material adopts a compressible Neo-Hookean model, and its strain energy density function is defined as:
[0084]
[0085] Where κ and χ are Lamé constants, C = F T F is the right Cauchy-Green tensor;
[0086] The barrier regularization method is compared with the non-barrier regularization method, where the grid in the void region is subjected to small stiffness in the non-barrier regularization method, and the regularization method is not subjected to small stiffness, to verify the improvement effect of the barrier regularization on the analysis convergence and grid quality.
[0087] The implementation steps of this embodiment are as follows:
[0088] Step S1: define the C-shaped beam geometry model, material parameters and boundary conditions, and set the barrier regularization parameters that can be adaptively adjusted according to the grid distortion degree:
[0089] γ = γ0(1 + 10(J max -J min ))
[0090] In the formula, γ0is the preset initial value, and γ0= 10 -4 , J max = max(det(F(ξ,η))), J min = max(min(det(F(ξ,η))),10 -6 ).
[0091] Step S2: initialize the load increment to 10, and set the nonlinear analysis convergence tolerance e tol = 10 -3 ;
[0092] Step S3: calculate the deformation gradient F of each element and the Jacobian determinant J = det(F).
[0093] Step S4: construct the barrier regularization function ψ(J) according to the element Jacobian determinant.
[0094] The threshold value δ needs to be defined (usually 0 < δ << 1). When the Jacobian determinant J = det(F) is lower than δ, it is set to J = δ, that is:
[0095] J = max(J, δ)
[0096] The threshold value δ of the embodiment is 10 -6 .
[0097] Log-type barrier term:
[0098] ψ(J) = -γlog(J)
[0099] Step S5: Construct a modified potential energy functional containing barrier regularization terms:
[0100]
[0101] Where Ω0 represents the volume domain of the object under the reference configuration; b represents the body force load per unit reference volume; t represents the surface force load per unit reference area; Γ t represents the boundary (part of the boundary) where the surface force is applied; u represents the displacement; ψ(J) is the barrier regularization function; V represents the volume domain of the structure or material under the reference configuration; A represents the surface area on the boundary.
[0102] Second-order variation of the potential energy functional can obtain the material stiffness matrix K mat , the geometric stiffness matrix K geo and the barrier stiffness matrix K bar , which are specifically represented as:
[0103] K mat = ∫ Ω B T DBdV
[0104] K geo = ∫ Ω G T SGdV
[0105] K bar = ∫ Ω φ(J)B T BdV
[0106] In the formula, B is composed of the deformation gradient related term matrix F G and the shape function derivative matrix G, and for a two-dimensional problem, it is defined as:
[0107]
[0108] In the formula, (u, v) represents the displacement field, (X, Y) represents the initial coordinates, and N represents the NURBS basis function. For a quadratic basis function, n = 9 is the number of control points.
[0109] Step S6: Assemble the tangent stiffness matrix K = K mat + K geo + Kbar , use Newton-Simpson iteration to solve the nonlinear equation KU=R, where U is the displacement vector and R is the residual vector, which is defined as the external force f ext and internal force f int difference;
[0110] Step S7: Determine the convergence tolerance. If not, return to S3 iteration. If converged, output the displacement.
[0111] The results are as follows Figures 3(a)-3(b) The following diagrams show the mesh deformation for the non-barrier regularization method and the logarithmic barrier regularization method, respectively. Under large deformation conditions, the internal mesh and the solid mesh of the unregularized mesh are severely distorted, making effective calculation impossible. However, the regularized method still achieves convergence, indicating that the barrier regularization term effectively prevents excessive mesh deformation and allows for smooth convergence. Figure 3(c) shows the mesh deformation process under logarithmic barrier regularization, which is smooth and reasonable.
[0112] Example 3
[0113] This example takes the cantilever beam topology optimization as an example to illustrate the classic solid isotropic material penalty method in topology optimization. For example, where E is the effective Young's modulus of the unit, ρ e represents the unit density, i.e. the design variable, β is the penalty factor, and E0 is the Young's modulus of the substrate. The optimization effect of the method of the present invention in geometric nonlinear topology optimization under the finite element framework is verified. The model geometry is as follows Figure 4 As shown, the cantilever beam is discretized into 120×30 units, fixed on one side, and a downward concentrated force of 10 is applied to the middle of the right end. 7 Taking the minimum flexibility of the structure as the goal and the volume fraction as the constraint set to 0.5, a topology optimization mathematical model is established:
[0114]
[0115] st:R(ρ,u)=0
[0116]
[0117] Among them, O represents the optimized objective function value, L is the external load vector, ρ is the design variable vector, and n e is the total number of discrete elements in the design domain, g represents the volume constraint function, v e Represents the volume of the unit, V g The target volume of the structure is initially set;
[0118] The implementation steps of this embodiment are as follows:
[0119] Step S1: Define the design domain, constraints, loads and other boundary conditions of the cantilever beam structure, define parameters such as volume fraction and grid size, and read and input the above data;
[0120] Step S2: Set the topology optimization initial variables, set the optimization convergence criteria, define the barrier regularization parameters and the nonlinear convergence criteria;
[0121] Step S3: Analysis-Optimization Cycle:
[0122] (a) Execute steps A2-A7 to complete the barrier regularization nonlinear analysis;
[0123] (b) Calculate the objective function and sensitivity;
[0124] (c) updating the design variables using the optimization criterion method;
[0125] (d) Check convergence. If not, return to (a).
[0126] The final topological configuration is Figures 5(a)-5(b) The following are the optimization results for the barrier-free and logarithmic barrier regularization methods, respectively. It is clearly observed that the topological configuration for the barrier-free method does not converge, indicating that the numerical tolerance limit has been exceeded under this load, while the barrier regularization method converges and achieves a reasonable configuration. The proposed method obtains an effective and reasonable topological configuration, further demonstrating its superiority in geometrically nonlinear topology optimization and its versatility across different numerical platforms.
[0127] The above embodiments are preferred implementation modes of the present invention, but the implementation modes of the present invention are not limited to the above embodiments. Any other changes, modifications, substitutions, combinations, and simplifications that do not deviate from the spirit and principles of the present invention should be considered as equivalent replacement methods and are included in the scope of protection of the present invention.
