Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of structural optimization design technology, specifically relating to a lightweight design method for box girder structures based on topology optimization. Background Technology
[0002] With the continuous development of engineering technology, especially the widespread application of additive manufacturing technology, traditional structural design methods are proving inadequate in dealing with complex mechanical properties and production process requirements. Box girders, as a common structural form, are widely used in construction, transportation and other fields. Their design requirements not only need to meet basic mechanical properties, such as strength and stiffness, but also need to consider the multi-physics field effects that the structure may encounter in actual use, including thermal response, vibration, fatigue and other issues.
[0003] In traditional design methods, designers often focus on optimizing a single physics field, such as considering only mechanical properties or thermal response, neglecting the interactions between multiple physics fields. This can lead to design results that fail to achieve the expected overall performance in practical applications. Furthermore, with the maturity of additive manufacturing technology, it offers unique advantages over traditional manufacturing processes, such as enabling free design of complex structures and reducing material waste. However, additive manufacturing also presents new challenges, especially in the structural design stage. Unlike traditional manufacturing processes, additive manufacturing requires consideration of specific process constraints such as material deposition sequence, temperature distribution, minimum feature size, and supporting structures. These constraints make it difficult for traditional design methods to meet the specific requirements of additive manufacturing, potentially preventing the successful transformation of design results into a practically producible model.
[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to propose a lightweight design method for box girder structures based on topology optimization to solve the problem of how to balance the relationship between the lightweight goal of the structure and the manufacturing process in the existing technology.

Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0058] Example 1:
[0059] Please see Figure 1 As shown, a lightweight design method for box girder structures based on topology optimization includes:
[0060] A three-dimensional parametric model with multi-physics coupling is constructed. Through cross-scale analysis of structural stiffness, thermal deformation, vibration modes and fatigue life, and a hybrid topology optimization strategy of variable density method and level set method is adopted, the relationship between density and stress-strain is modeled to generate an initial material distribution scheme that satisfies the structural functional integrity.
[0061] The multiphysics coupling model is constructed in the following way:

[0065] Furthermore, through multiphysics coupling and cross-scale analysis, the overall performance of the structure is more comprehensively evaluated and optimized, improving the accuracy and reliability of the design. A hybrid topology optimization strategy effectively allocates materials, improves the functional integrity of the structure, and reduces redundant materials. By introducing thermo-mechanical coupled finite element analysis and fatigue life prediction through transfer learning, complex nonlinear problems are solved, thereby achieving a more efficient and stable design scheme.

[0091] Furthermore, by constructing a material-structure co-optimization module driven by a material gene library, composite material systems that meet multiple objective constraints can be efficiently screened, thereby improving the accuracy of material selection and design efficiency. A WebGL-based 3D visualization interface allows designers to edit topology configurations and perform performance pre-evaluation in real time, enhancing the flexibility and operability of the design process. Deploying edge computing nodes for distributed parallel processing significantly shortens the design cycle, improves the computational efficiency of the design-analysis-optimization process, and accelerates the implementation of innovative results.
