[0066] Embodiment 1
[0067] This embodiment provides a SIMP-based damping material topology optimization design method, as Figure 1 shown, including:
[0068] S1: Determine the boundary conditions by generating the damping material setting range according to the plate and shell structure, and perform a force analysis on the plate and shell structure to determine the damping characteristic information of the damping material setting range to generate the load conditions;

[0071] S4: Perform SIMP iterative optimization on each of the initial unit densities within the specified density range to generate the optimal damping material layout of the damping material setting range, draw the topological density cloud map and display it.
[0072] In this example, the density range of the damping material per unit area is [0, 1];
[0073] In this example, the boundary condition represents the condition that needs to be executed when setting the outer frame of the damping material;
[0074] In this example, the setting range of the damping material is within the plate and shell structure and is used to place the damping material;
[0075] In this example, the load condition represents the pressure situation corresponding to each part of the plate and shell structure;
[0076] In this example, the stress ratio represents the ratio between the pressure borne by a unit area and the total pressure borne by the setting range of the damping material;
[0077] In this example, the constraint condition represents the condition used to constrain the pressure range of a unit area;
[0078] In this example, the finite element model is an oSH model constructed using plate and shell elements and solid elements;
[0079] In this example, the initial unit density represents the result of randomly matching a damping density for a unit area from the range [0, 1] according to the stress ratio.
[0080] The working principle and beneficial effects of the above technical solution: In order to effectively damp the plate and shell structure and change the disadvantages of traditional damping materials, the damping characteristic information of the setting range of the damping material is determined according to the stress situation of the plate and shell structure, so as to establish the load condition. Then, the setting range of the damping material is divided into blocks, and the stress ratio between different unit areas is determined according to the damping characteristic information, so as to establish the constraint condition. Further, a finite element model is built according to the existing load condition and boundary condition, and then the constraint condition is used to determine the initial unit density corresponding to each unit area. Finally, the initial unit density is iteratively optimized within the range [0, 1] to generate the optimal damping material layout of the setting range of the damping material. According to the damping density corresponding to each unit area in this layout, a topological density cloud map is generated. In this way, not only can suitable damping materials be set for different plate and shell structures, but also the self-mass of each unit density can be reduced, the damping effect can be improved, and the goals of high damping, low investment, high benefit, and low cost are achieved.
[0081] Embodiment 2
[0082] Based on the Embodiment 1, for the topology optimization design method of the damping material based on SIMP, the S4 includes:
[0083] S41: Generate the stiffness matrix for the damping material setting range based on the initial unit density corresponding to each unit area, analyze the displacement values corresponding to the stiffness matrix, and establish the topology optimization response for the damping material setting range according to the finite element model;
[0084] S42: Determine the adjustable density value corresponding to each initial unit density according to the specified density range, combine the adjustable density values to generate an optimized density distribution, and input the optimized density distribution into the stiffness matrix for displacement value analysis to obtain displacement values;
[0085] S43: Use the topology optimization response to perform convergence analysis on the displacement values. When the displacement values are in a converged state, form the optimal damping material layout for the damping material setting range according to the optimized density distribution. Otherwise, combine the adjustable density values to generate an iterative density distribution for displacement value analysis until the displacement values meet the preset convergence threshold;
[0086] S44: When the displacement values show convergence, generate the optimal damping material layout for the damping material setting range according to the corresponding current iterative density distribution, draw and display the topology density contour map.
[0087] In this example, the stiffness matrix is a matrix used to represent the stiffness of each unit area in the damping material setting range;
[0088] In this example, the displacement values represent the response values corresponding to the displacement response of the plate and shell structure under the action of external loads presented in the stiffness matrix;
[0089] In this example, when the displacement values show convergence, it means that the damping material setting range can offset the pressure generated by the plate and shell structure;
[0090] In this example, the preset convergence threshold represents a point within the damping material setting range, that is, the damping material can share the pressure of the plate and shell structure.
[0091] Working principle and beneficial effects of the above technical solution: In order to set a damping material that can share the pressure of the plate-shell structure, a stiffness matrix is established according to the initial unit density corresponding to each unit area. By judging whether the displacement value of the stiffness matrix converges, it is determined whether the current density distribution is effective. When it is ineffective, a topological optimization response of the damping material setting range is established based on the finite element model, and then the adjustable density value corresponding to each initial unit density is further determined, so as to perform density optimization and generate an optimized density distribution. By using the topological optimization response of the damping material setting range to analyze the displacement value of the optimized density distribution, the convergence of the current optimized density distribution is determined. By searching for the optimal damping material layout in the convergent state, a topological density nephogram is drawn. In this way, the damping density of each unit area can be planned to ensure that the damping material can achieve the purpose of shock absorption and build a damping material layout suitable for the plate-shell structure.

[0095] (1)
[0096] Wherein, represents the vibration excitation characteristics of the plate-shell structure, represents the N-dimensional mass of the plate-shell structure, represents the initial damping of the plate-shell structure, represents the stiffness characteristics of the plate-shell structure, represents the displacement characteristic equation of the plate-shell structure, represents the velocity characteristic equation of the plate-shell structure, represents the acceleration characteristic equation of the plate-shell structure, represents the duration;
[0097] Analyze the frequency response characteristics of the plate-shell structure according to formula (2);
[0098] (2)
[0099] Wherein, represents the frequency response characteristics of the plate-shell structure, represents the amplitude characteristic equation of the plate-shell structure;
[0100] Determine the vibration excitation characteristics of the plate-shell structure according to formula (1), and determine the frequency response characteristics of the plate-shell structure according to formula (2);
[0101] Determine the external force compression information of the plate-shell structure according to the vibration excitation characteristics and the frequency response characteristics, and determine the force value corresponding to each structural position in the plate-shell structure according to the external force compression information.
[0102] In this example, the external force compression information of the plate-shell structure is analyzed by analyzing the vibration excitation characteristics and frequency response characteristics of the plate-shell structure, so as to determine the force value corresponding to each structural position in the plate-shell structure, which is convenient for determining the damping characteristics corresponding to each unit area in subsequent work.
[0103] Example 4
[0104] On the basis of Example 1, in the method for topology optimization design of damping materials based on SIMP, the process of establishing a finite element model according to the boundary conditions and the load conditions includes:
[0105] Construct a model grid in Optistruct according to the boundary conditions;
[0106] Construct the load conditions to determine several load excitation points included in the model grid;
[0107] Obtain the frequency response characteristics of the plate-shell structure, construct a unit amplitude-frequency curve according to the frequency response characteristics, and analyze the frequency interval corresponding to each load excitation point in the model grid by using the unit amplitude-frequency curve;
[0108] Identify the real-time frequency response corresponding to each load excitation point respectively;
[0109] Construct the frequency response function curve of the plate-shell structure according to the real-time frequency response corresponding to each load excitation point in the model grid;
[0110] Arrange the load excitation points in the model grid, and use the frequency response function curve to perform vibration rendering on the model grid to generate a finite element model.
[0111] In this example, the load excitation points represent several points that bear load pressure in the model network;
[0112] In this example, the process of establishing the frequency response function curve is as follows: (1) Establish a model: Establish a 2D plate-shell grid and a 3D damping grid, connect the coplanar and co-nodal connections at the connection between the two, and assign material properties to both. In finite elements, the grid must be a continuous grid. If it is not a continuous grid, the two grids are independent calculation regions. For models that never separate or whose contacts do not change during the analysis, coplanar and co-nodal connections can be used.
[0113] (2)Establish load excitation: Define the load card DAREA and establish the load excitation points. DAREA is a note [A7]: Please give a specific calculation example. It is recommended to combine the application scenario with the location where the load will act, and the acting direction can also be set.
[0114] (3)Establish the solution frequency range: Create a unit amplitude-frequency curve LOADFREQ and define the frequency range 0 - 700 Hz used in the solution process.
[0115] (4)Define modal damping: Set the modal damping to 0.02.
[0116] (5)Create a frequency response analysis step: Create the analysis frequency points FREQ and the modal frequency response analysis step: In the finite element, the mesh must be a continuous mesh. If it is not a continuous mesh, the two meshes are independent calculation regions. For models that never separate or where the contact does not change during the analysis, coplanar and co - nodal points can be used. Freq.resp(modal), input the relevant card attributes.
[0117] The frequency response analysis step is mainly used to simulate the dynamic response of a structure under excitation at different frequencies. There are two types of Freq.resp, one is called Freq.resp(direct), and the other is called Freq.resp(modal). Direct is to obtain the frequency response by the direct method, and the disadvantage is that the computational amount is huge. Modal is to obtain the frequency response by the modal superposition method. First, find the modes of the system, and then calculate the response using the modal superposition principle. This algorithm has a relatively small computational amount and a faster calculation speed.
[0118] (6)Create a node set: Establish a node set SET_GRID, and the nodes are evenly arranged on the plate and shell.
[0119] (7)Create output parameters: Establish cards such as GLOBAL_OUTPUT_REQUEST and set the output parameters.
[0120] (8)Output the results, process the data and establish a frequency response function curve graph.
[0121] Working principle and beneficial effects of the above technical solution: In Optistruct, a model network is established according to the boundary conditions, and then the load excitation points of the model network are established according to the load conditions. The frequency response characteristics of the plate and shell structure are further analyzed to establish the unit amplitude-frequency curve of each load excitation point and the frequency interval of each load excitation point. Finally, the frequency response function curve of the plate and shell structure is constructed by identifying the actual frequency response of each load excitation point. Finally, a finite element model is constructed through vibration rendering. In this way, a model suitable for this plate and shell structure can be built, and better damping density analysis can be carried out.
