Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of ultra-lightweight structure design methods, and in particular to a thermal-mechanical coupling topology optimization method for a thin-walled non-uniformly filled structure. Background Art
[0002] The thin-walled non-uniform filling structure is a lightweight composite structure with excellent performance, which is mainly composed of an outer thin-walled layer and an internal non-uniform lattice material filling. Theoretical and research results show that the thin-walled filling structure has the advantages of high specific stiffness, large tensile strength, good anti-buckling performance and energy absorption. On the other hand, the non-uniform filling structure itself contains many small structures and voids, and also has great potential in heat conduction. Through the coordinated design of the overall structure and the filling configuration, the filling area structure can be optimized simultaneously, which can maximize the mechanical properties and lightweight level of the structure.
[0003] As a structural optimization method, topology optimization can maximize the potential of design freedom and often obtain novel structures in the conceptual design stage. Thermomechanical coupling structural topology optimization design can comprehensively consider the topology optimization design of the internal heat transfer structure of the structure, that is, by reasonably arranging high thermal conductivity materials inside the structure, designing the optimal heat transfer path to improve the heat dissipation capacity of the structure. At present, the structures of thermomechanical coupling topology optimization are often solid filling or uniform filling configurations, which cannot adapt to complex mechanical-thermal stress distribution and have limited lightweight potential. Thin-walled non-uniform filling structures can be obtained by using local volume constraints. Further thermomechanical coupling topology optimization can fully explore the lightweight potential of the structure while ensuring mechanical properties and heat dissipation performance.

[0072] Step 2: Initialize the design variable μ and obtain the density field through a two-step filtering algorithm and the normalized spatial gradient norm τ; initialize the design variable ν, perform one-step filtering and projection to obtain the non-uniform filling density field ψ, and then perform one-step filtering to obtain the local volume fraction aggregation field
[0073] First, filtering is used to avoid the checkerboard phenomenon and grid dependence, and it helps to obtain spatial gradient information. The solution format is as follows:
[0074]
[0075] In the formula, is the Laplace operator, τ is the cell density before filtering, and the cell density after filtering can be obtained by applying the filtering boundary conditions. R f is the filter radius.
[0076] Based on filtering, combined with Heaviside projection, a clear 0-1 distribution topological configuration can be obtained. The cell density after filtering of the e-th cell is The relative density of the unit obtained after Heaviside projection for:
[0077]
[0078] Where β is the sharpness of the projection, η is the threshold of the projection, Represents the relative density of the e-th unit after filtering The relative density of the unit obtained after projection;
[0079] Through two-step filtering and projection operations, the filling density field can be obtained Thin wall density field Inhomogeneous filling density field ψ and local volume fraction field of the structure
[0080] Specifically, the design variable μ is filtered for the first time with R1 as the radius to obtain the unit density Again Projection is performed to obtain the filling density field Then take R2 as the radius Perform a second filter to obtain the density field beg The spatial gradient norm field ( is the gradient operator), and multiplied by the normalization factor The normalized spatial gradient norm field can be obtained Then perform a second projection to obtain
[0081] In addition, the design variable v is filtered for the first time with R3 as the radius to obtain the unit density Again Projection to obtain a non-uniform filling density field The local volume fraction field of the structure is obtained by filtering ψ for the second time with R4 as the radius
[0082] Step 3: By converting the density field Spatial gradient norm τ and local volume fraction aggregation field Substitute the material interpolation function to calculate the elastic modulus E, thermal conductivity κ, and thermal stress coefficient f β and mass density ρ to describe the distribution of material in the design domain;
[0083] Specifically, in order to obtain the material model describing the distribution of the non-uniformly filled sandwich structure in the design domain, ρ, E, and κ are used to represent the overall mass density, elastic modulus, and thermal conductivity, respectively. 0 、E 0 and κ 0 They represent the mass density, elastic modulus and thermal conductivity of the shell region material, respectively, ρ , E and λ κ They represent the ratio of the material properties of the filling region to the mass density, elastic modulus and thermal conductivity of the shell region material. In addition, in order to avoid numerical singularities in the finite element calculation of the empty region material, the minimum quantity ρ is introduced. min 、E min and k min . The material interpolation function can be established as follows:
[0084]
[0085] Similarly, the interpolation function of the thermal stress coefficient can be obtained as follows:
[0086]
[0087] Step 4: Assemble the overall thermal conductivity matrix K th And the overall stiffness matrix K, perform thermal-mechanical coupling finite element calculation to solve the structural displacement field U;
[0088] Specifically, the overall thermal conductivity matrix K th Assembled from the unit heat conduction matrix:
[0089]
[0090] In the formula, ∑ represents the overall matrix assembly operator, is the unit heat conduction matrix. For the finite element problem of a planar four-node unit, the unit heat conduction matrix is defined as:
[0091]
[0092] In the formula, Ω e is the given cell domain, t is the cell thickness, B th is the thermal gradient-temperature matrix, D th is the thermal conductivity matrix.
[0093] Similarly, the global stiffness matrix K is assembled from the element stiffness matrices:
[0094]
[0095] In the formula, ∑ represents the overall matrix assembly operator, k 0 is the unit stiffness matrix. For the finite element problem of a plane four-node unit, the unit stiffness matrix is:
[0096]
[0097] Where B is the strain-displacement matrix.
[0098] Since the thermal expansion caused by the temperature field and the mechanical field load act together on the unit domain, the thermal-mechanical load vector is obtained:
[0099] F=F m +F th
[0100] In the formula, F m is the mechanical load vector, F th is the equivalent thermal load vector. The equivalent thermal load vector can be assembled from the element equivalent thermal load vectors:

[0104] The structural displacement field U can be calculated.
[0105] Step 5: Calculate the structural flexibility, global mass fraction, local volume constraint and node temperature constraint values, and perform corresponding sensitivity analysis;
[0106] Specifically, according to the adjoint sensitivity analysis, the flexibility sensitivity expression is:
[0107]
[0108] Where E is the elastic modulus, κ is the thermal conductivity, and f β are thermal stress coefficients, both of which are related to the design variables μ and v.
[0109] In this implementation, the derivative of the global mass constraint with respect to the design variable is:
[0110]
[0111] According to the chain rule, the derivative of the improved mass density ρ′ with respect to the design variable μ is:
[0112]
[0113] Since the improved mass density ρ′ is independent of the design variable v,
[0114]
[0115] The node temperature constraint sensitivity expression is:
[0116]
[0117] In this implementation, since the local volume constraint only acts on the non-uniform filling area, the local volume constraint is only related to the second design variable v, according to the local volume constraint formula:
[0118]
[0119] The local volume constraint sensitivity expression can be obtained as:
[0120]
[0121] Step 6: Determine the objective function and constraints according to the mathematical model of the optimization problem, and submit the sensitivity to the moving asymptotes algorithm (MMA) solver to update the overall topological field μ and the lattice density field v;
[0122] Step 7: Check whether the iteration stop condition is met: the maximum change of the design variable is less than 0.01. If so, output the result; otherwise, return to step 2 and repeat the above steps.
[0123] A specific implementation of the above scheme is as follows:

The material used is 2018 aluminum alloy, and the material parameters are shown in Figure 3 .
[0125] Step 1: Select the overall topological field μ and the lattice density field v as design variables, establish an optimization model with structural flexibility as the target and mass fraction as the constraint, and initialize it including finite element discretization, definition of mechanical field and temperature field finite element calculation related parameters, PDE filter matrix preprocessing and iteration related parameter initialization;
[0126] Step 2: If Figure 4 As shown, the design variable μ is initialized, and the density field is obtained through two-step PDE filtering and Heaviside projection. and the normalized spatial gradient norm τ, the two filter radii are R1 = 16 and R2 = 10 respectively; the design variable v is initialized, and two-step PDE filtering and Heaviside projection are performed to obtain the non-uniform filling density field ψ, and then the local volume fraction aggregation field is obtained by one-step filtering The two filtering radii are R3=16 and R4=10 respectively; the other parameters such as projection threshold η are as follows Figure 3 shown.
[0127] Step 3: By τ and Substitute the material interpolation function to calculate the elastic modulus E, thermal conductivity κ, and thermal stress coefficient f β and mass density ρ to describe the distribution of material in the design domain;
[0128] Step 4: Assemble the overall thermal conductivity matrix K th And the overall stiffness matrix K, perform thermal-mechanical coupling finite element calculation to solve the structural displacement field U;
[0129] Step 5: Calculate the structural flexibility, global mass fraction, local volume constraint and node temperature constraint values, and perform corresponding sensitivity analysis;
[0130] Step 6: Determine the objective function and constraints according to the mathematical model of the optimization problem, and submit the sensitivity to the moving asymptote algorithm solver to update the overall topological field μ and the lattice density field v;
[0131] Step 7: Check whether the iteration stop condition is met: the maximum change of the design variable is less than 0.01. If so, output the result; otherwise, return to step 2 and repeat the above steps.
[0132] The present invention is not limited to the above-mentioned specific implementation modes. A person skilled in the art may implement the present invention in various other specific implementation modes according to the embodiments and the disclosure of the drawings. Therefore, any design that adopts the design structure and concept of the present invention and makes some simple transformations or changes shall fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
