Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of structural topology optimization continuum design, and in particular relates to a reliability topology optimization method and system for a stress constraint system of a plate-shell structure. Background Art

[0002] Plate-shell structures play a vital role in aerospace engineering, mainly reflected in their key functions such as load-bearing, weight reduction and pressure resistance. First, plate-shell structures are widely used to carry the main loads of aircraft, such as rocket plates, fuel tanks and engine plates, and can effectively cope with complex mechanical effects and avoid local failure by evenly dispersing stress. Secondly, weight control is a core requirement in aerospace design. Plate-shell structures, with their superior mechanical properties, minimize the use of materials while ensuring strength and stiffness, achieve lightweight design, and thus improve fuel efficiency and mission load capacity. In addition, the geometric characteristics of plate-shell structures give them extremely strong pressure resistance, especially suitable for high-pressure environments such as rocket launches, thrusters and engine compartments. It can withstand complex loads and dynamic environments during the flight of spacecraft, maintain structural stability, and adapt to drastic temperature changes and impact loads. These characteristics make plate-shell structures an irreplaceable structural form in spacecraft, significantly improving the overall performance and reliability of spacecraft, while reducing launch costs. However, in practical applications, plate-shell structures usually need to minimize structural weight while ensuring strength and stiffness, thereby improving the fuel efficiency and mission performance of aircraft. Therefore, the optimal design of plate and shell structures has become an important research topic in aerospace engineering.

[0003] Through advanced numerical simulation and optimization algorithms, engineers can optimize the geometric parameters, material distribution and reinforcement design of plate and shell structures to meet specific mechanical requirements. This not only improves the reliability of structural design, but also accelerates the product development process, helping the aerospace industry to move towards a more efficient and lightweight goal. Topology optimization is a powerful structural optimization concept method that aims to seek the best material layout to improve performance and reduce structural weight. In recent decades, topology optimization has made great progress and has been widely used in many engineering fields, and a variety of methods have been developed to meet the challenges of topology optimization. It is worth noting that a series of topology optimization methods have been developed, such as solid isotropic material with penalty function (SIMP), level set method, moving deformable part method, moving deformable hole method and topology derivative-based method, among which SIMP has been widely used in solving various optimization problems due to its simple conceptual framework and easy implementation. Stress, as a basic indicator for evaluating and quantifying structural strength, plays a vital role in the optimization process. Therefore, topology optimization methods with stress constraints have attracted much attention due to their potential in improving structural performance. In addition, it should be noted that physical and engineering problems in the real world themselves involve many uncertain factors. Therefore, it is necessary to introduce a reliability-based concept to consider the impact of uncertainty and to implement an efficient and high-precision stress constraint reliability topology optimization method to address the difficulties caused by the huge number of stress constraints in plate and shell structures.

[0004] The existing stress constraint system reliability topology optimization design methods have the following main problems:

[0005] First, the plate-shell structure contains a large number of stress constraints, and each constraint has an impact on the structural safety. Therefore, all constraints need to be considered and their MPP most likely failure points calculated, which will inevitably result in extremely high computational costs. Second, the traditional reliability optimization method can only consider a single constraint, which will result in low precision when dealing with system reliability optimization problems involving a large number of constraints.

The structural volume ratio of the deterministic optimization result is 26.38%, and the reliability index βmcs is -0.156. t =1, 2, 3, the structural volume ratios of the optimization results obtained by the functional measurement method are 27.60%, 29.25% and 29.38% respectively, while the structural reliability index β mcs They are 0.902, 1.874 and 2.832 respectively. Obviously, the result of the functional measurement method does not reach the specified reliability index and cannot guarantee the structural safety. t =1, 2, 3, the structural volume ratios of the optimization results obtained by the Ditlevsen boundary method are 27.87%, 28.95% and 29.56% respectively, and the structural reliability index β mcs They are 1.080, 2.062 and 3.033 respectively. Compared with the results of the functional metric method, the results obtained by the Ditlevsen boundary method have greatly improved the structural reliability while increasing the volume rate slightly. The results meet the target reliability index. The results of this method can effectively ensure the expected safety of the cylindrical shell structure.
