Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the field of structural design and advanced manufacturing, and particularly relates to a parameterizable periodic thin-walled structure based on performance multi-objective optimization and a design method thereof. BACKGROUND

[0002] Thin-walled structures have become a core design paradigm widely used in modern engineering due to their lightweight, high specific strength, high specific stiffness, and excellent energy absorption performance, and have shown significant advantages in the fields of automobile body lightweight, spacecraft cabin structure, building curtain wall, electronic device shell, and impact buffering device. Through topological optimization and advanced material collaborative design, thin-walled structures can achieve equivalent or even superior mechanical properties to traditional structures while reducing weight, greatly improving energy absorption efficiency. With the development of material function integration and the demand for extreme service environment, thin-walled structures not only bear the load and protection functions, but also gradually develop multi-functional integrated capabilities such as thermal insulation, heat dissipation, vibration reduction, acoustic regulation, and electromagnetic shielding, becoming an important development direction of advanced structural design.

[0003] In recent years, through the combination of multi-scale topological optimization and bionic structure design methods, thin-walled structures can achieve equivalent or even superior mechanical properties to traditional solid structures while reducing weight, and have multi-field collaborative response capabilities, providing a new idea for high-performance and multi-functional integrated engineering structure design. For example, the unique three-dimensional interconnected porous network of natural sponge skeleton realizes the collaborative optimization of material distribution-structure stability-energy dissipation in long-term evolution, and has excellent impact buffering performance; the hollow skeleton structure of birds greatly reduces weight while maintaining structural stability and torsional performance through the hollow wall plus transverse support truss configuration, which has been widely used in lightweight design of aviation; bamboo joint structure exhibits good bending and compression resistance and crack blocking ability through the change of joint thickness and internal cavity stiffening mechanism. In addition, biological structures in nature, such as plant stems, insect wings, and marine biological skeletons, exhibit multi-scale collaborative mechanical optimization characteristics of porosity-layering-multi-scale, which also provide rich prototypes for lightweight high-strength design of engineering structures.

[0004] However, the three-dimensional design of natural structures based on biological evolution faces a dilemma: on the one hand, structures that excessively replicate the topological complexity of biological prototypes (such as porous honeycombs and fiber cross-linking) can improve local performance, but their highly irregular structures are difficult to parameterize, severely limiting their controllable manufacturing and large-scale application in engineering practice; on the other hand, excessive simplification of structural geometry (such as idealized honeycombs, porous foams, and regular pore arrays) improves manufacturing feasibility, but their mechanical properties are far from achieving the synergistic enhancement level of natural structures. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop a biomimetic thin-walled structure design method that can retain the key mechanical advantages of biological structures while possessing controllable parameters, structural periodicity, and industrial manufacturability.

[0056] Please refer to Figure 1 This invention provides a parameterizable periodic thin-walled structure design method based on multi-objective performance optimization, comprising the following steps:

[0057] Step S1: Select several structural geometric parameters from the parameter design library as design variables.

[0058] In step S1, the parameter design library contains the following structural geometric parameters: DC coefficient Cosine coefficient sine coefficient , function period length Function prototype Total length Thin-wall height thin-walled and thick-walled Amplitude control parameters partition thickness Angle between adjacent thin-walled structures Horizontal gaps between adjacent cell bodies Longitudinal gaps between adjacent cell bodies Single-layer chamber length Single-layer chamber width Number of cells in a single-layered chamber Total number of cycles and total number of floors .

[0059] In this embodiment, the following structural geometric parameter design variables are selected from the parameter design library for parameter optimization: cosine coefficient. sine coefficient (The harmonic order is set to 3 to meet the accuracy requirements), function period length It should be noted that the structural geometric parameter design variables can be dynamically selected from a preset parameter design library, and their combination mode varies according to the actual engineering design requirements, which will not be limited here.

[0060] Step S2: Set the value range of each design variable, and select several specific parameter combinations within the value range.

[0061] In step S2, the value range of the structural geometric parameter design variables selected in step S1 needs to be set. Determining the value range of the structural geometric parameter design variables requires comprehensive consideration of the actual engineering situation and the geometric characteristics of the structure itself. After determining the value range of the structural geometric parameter design variables, a suitable experimental design method is selected, and appropriate data processing software (such as Isight, Optimus, Noesis Solutions, etc.) is used to obtain the values ​​within the value range. The specific parameter combinations should be designed with parameter values ​​distributed as evenly as possible within their range. Evenly distributed sample points can more accurately fit the mapping relationship between the design variables and the optimization objective, reducing bias. Understandably, the experimental design methods, data processing software, and the number of specific parameter combinations also need to be set according to the actual situation, and are not limited here.

[0062] It is important to note the cosine coefficient. sine coefficient Determines the function prototype (function prototype) (Please refer to the following text for the geometric shape. If the wall thickness is too large, the outer contour of the cross-section of the thin-walled structure will be...) Where the radius of curvature is smaller than the wall thickness, the wall becomes pointed, which distorts the shape of the thin-walled structure and affects its performance. Therefore, in this case, the cosine coefficient... and sine coefficient The values ​​should be limited to a reasonable range. In this embodiment, the range of values ​​for the structural geometric parameter design variables is as follows:

[0063]

[0064] It should be noted that the structural geometric parameter design variables in the residual parameter design library are constant values, specifically as follows: DC coefficient. =0, thin-wall height =5mm, thin wall thickness =0.1mm, partition thickness =0.2mm, angle between adjacent thin-walled structures = Horizontal gaps between adjacent cell bodies =5mm, longitudinal gap between adjacent cells =6mm, single-layer chamber length =30mm, single-layer chamber width =30mm, number of cells in a single-layer chamber =9. Function Prototype Total length L0=2mm, total number of layers N=3, amplitude control parameters In h= Take 1mm at h There exists a functional relationship at this point, specifically: Understandably, the values ​​of the structural geometric parameter design variables in the aforementioned remaining parameter design library can be set according to actual needs, and are not limited here.

[0065] In this embodiment, the optimal Latin hypercube design method in the Isight software is used to generate 100 (i.e., ...) within a set value range. =100) A sample of specific parameter combinations for the design variables of structural geometric parameters.

[0066] Step S3: Define the optimization objective and refine it into multiple quantifiable sub-objectives.

[0067] In step S3, one or more optimization objectives can be selected for optimization. Optimization objectives include, but are not limited to, structural mechanical properties, structural thermal properties, structural electrical properties, structural acoustic properties, and structural magnetic properties. Structural mechanical properties include, but are not limited to, the following sub-objectives that can be optimized: structural strength, structural stiffness, fatigue strength, and specific energy absorption. ( M represents the total energy absorbed when the structure is compressed to density, and M represents the total mass of the thin-walled structure, as well as the peak impact force. The structural thermal properties, including but not limited to the following sub-objectives, can be optimized: heat transfer rate. The structural electrical properties include, but are not limited to, the following sub-objectives that can be optimized: thermal expansion coefficient, thermal conductivity, thermal diffusivity, thermal shock resistance, and effective heat dissipation area. The structural acoustic properties include, but are not limited to, the following sub-objectives that can be optimized: sound absorption coefficient, sound insulation, acoustic impedance, and noise attenuation coefficient. The structural magnetic properties include, but are not limited to, the following sub-objectives that can be optimized: magnetic susceptibility, permeability, coercivity, hysteresis loss, and eddy current loss.

[0068] In this embodiment, two optimization objectives were selected: structural mechanical properties and structural thermal properties. The structural mechanical properties include the following sub-objectives: specific energy absorption. Peak collision force and quality The structural thermal performance includes the following sub-optimization objectives: heat transfer rate .

[0069] Step S4: Construct the corresponding thin-walled structure geometric model based on the selected specific parameter combinations, and obtain the performance data of each optimization sub-objective under each specific parameter combination through a combination of simulation and experiment.

[0070] In step S4, the structural mechanical properties, structural thermal properties, structural electrical properties, structural acoustic properties, and structural magnetic properties can be modeled and simulated through experiments or simulation software.

[0071] In step S4, the structural mechanical properties are modeled and simulated through experiments or using existing commercially available software tools (such as Ansys / ABAQUS / COMSOL Multiphysics / Altair HyperWorks / SolidWorks Simulation software); the structural thermal properties are modeled and simulated through experiments or using existing commercially available software tools (such as Ansys / COMSOL Heat Transfer / ABAQUS / FloTHERM / SolidWorks Thermal Simulation software); the structural electrical properties are modeled and simulated through experiments or using existing commercially available software tools (such as COMSOL AC / DC Module / Ansys / CST Studio Suite / QuickField / JMAG software); the structural acoustic properties are modeled and simulated through experiments or using existing commercially available software tools (such as Ansys / COMSOL Acoustics Module / LMSVirtual.Lab / Actran / Abaqus Acoustics software); and the structural magnetic properties are modeled and simulated through experiments or using existing commercially available software tools (such as Ansys / COMSOL Magnetic Fields / JMAG / CST EMStudio / Opera Simulation software).

[0072] In this embodiment, Solidworks software is used to establish a corresponding three-dimensional model (i.e., thin-walled structure geometric model) based on the specific parameter combination of the design variables for each structural geometric parameter. Then, Ansys software is used to perform mechanical simulation and transient thermal simulation on each three-dimensional model and record the effective calculation results to obtain the finite element simulation results corresponding to each specific parameter combination. Then, based on the finite element simulation results, the performance data of each optimization sub-objective under each specific parameter combination are obtained.

[0073] Step S5: Score each optimization sub-objective based on the performance data of each optimization sub-objective, and obtain a comprehensive score for each optimization objective based on the scores.

[0074] In step S5, based on the performance data of each optimization sub-objective under each specific parameter combination, the optimization objectives under each parameter group are scored according to the scoring criteria. For optimization objectives containing multiple sub-objectives, weighting coefficients are introduced, and their performance values ​​are normalized and then weighted averaged to obtain the comprehensive score of the optimization objective. The core steps for calculating the weighted average are: weighting: multiply the performance score of each sub-objective of the optimization objective by its corresponding weight coefficient; summation: sum the products to obtain the weighted sum; normalization: divide the weighted sum by the sum of all weight coefficients to obtain the weighted average of the optimization objective. In essence, the weighted average of the optimization objective is the comprehensive score of that optimization objective.

[0075] In this embodiment, based on the performance data of each optimization sub-objective, the specific energy absorption under each specific parameter combination is evaluated according to the scoring criteria. Peak collision force Mass M and heat transfer rate Rate it. and Combined into the first dimension optimization objective F (each assigned a weight) and M is set as the second dimension optimization objective. This is set as the third dimension of the optimization objective. Then, a weighted average is calculated on the performance scores of the sub-objectives in the first dimension to obtain the final weighted average of the first dimension's optimization objective F. The details are as follows: ;in, The score is based on the specific energy absorption. The rating is for peak impact force. The weighting coefficient for specific energy absorption. is the weighting coefficient for the peak collision force, and F is the comprehensive score of the first dimension optimization objective. The weighted average score obtained through the above operations effectively and objectively reflects the comprehensive performance of this set of specific parameters on the optimization objective.

[0076] It should be noted that the specific value of the weight coefficient should be determined based on the degree of influence of each optimization sub-objective on the overall optimization objective, and in combination with actual engineering requirements (such as performance bottlenecks and priorities). No limit is set here.

[0077] Step S6: Determine whether the total number of optimization objectives does not exceed 3; if it does not exceed 3, proceed to step S7; otherwise, use the weighted average method to merge some optimization objectives until the total number of optimization objectives does not exceed 3.

[0078] In this embodiment, the total number of optimization objectives is 3, namely, the first-dimensional optimization objective F, the second-dimensional optimization objective M, and the third-dimensional optimization objective. If there are no more than 3, proceed to step S7.

[0079] Step S7: The least squares method is used to analyze and process the mapping relationship between the structural geometric parameters design variables and the optimization objective, and a response surface model based on the second-order polynomial fitting function is constructed.

[0080] In step S7, the mathematical expression of the constructed response surface model based on the second-order polynomial fitting function is as follows: In the formula, To optimize the predicted response value of the target; , , and These represent the offset term, linear offset coefficient, second-order offset coefficient, and interaction term coefficient, respectively. and Design variables representing different structural geometric parameters; The number of design variables for structural geometric parameters. Among them, the total number of response surface coefficients is... The number of experimental design schemes must be guaranteed. (i.e., the total number of specific parameter combinations taken in step S2) is greater than Only then can the second-order polynomial response surface model be initialized.

[0081] It should be noted that, for the comprehensive score of each specific parameter combination and its corresponding optimization objective, the improved response surface methodology can be used to determine the unknown parameters of the response surface model. , , Specifically, the various combinations of parameters are substituted into the response surface model. and The comprehensive score of the corresponding optimization objective is substituted into the response surface model. The unknown parameters of the response surface model can then be obtained. , , Then, the unknown parameters and structural geometry parameters (design variables) are substituted into the mathematical expression of the response surface model to obtain the response function for each optimization objective. Approximate relationship (i.e., mapping relationship) between structural geometric parameters and design variables.

[0082] In this embodiment, the first-dimensional optimization objective F, the second-dimensional optimization objective M, and the third-dimensional optimization objective are obtained. A second-order polynomial response surface model is used to establish the functional relationship between the optimization objective and the structural geometric parameters design variables, specifically:

In this embodiment, the number of structural geometric parameter design variables is 7, namely... , , , , , , It should be noted that, , , , , , , , , , , , All are unknown coefficients. The first-dimensional optimization objective F, the second-dimensional optimization objective M, and the third-dimensional optimization objective obtained in step S5 are... The comprehensive scores are respectively substituted into the first dimension optimization objective F, the second dimension optimization objective M, and the third dimension optimization objective mentioned above. The corresponding unknown coefficients can be obtained by using a second-order polynomial response surface model.

[0087] Step S8: Evaluate the predictive ability of the response surface model; if it is qualified, proceed to step S9; if it is not qualified, return to step S2 to reselect several specific parameter combinations.

[0088] In step S8, after the response surface model is established, the predictive ability of the response surface model needs to be evaluated. If the response surface model is within the allowable error range, the predictive ability of the response surface model is considered qualified, and the process proceeds directly to the next step (i.e., step S9). If the response surface model is not within the allowable error range, the predictive ability of the response surface model is considered unqualified, and the process returns to step S2 to reselect several specific parameter combinations.

[0089] In this embodiment, the multiple correlation coefficient is used to evaluate the predictive ability of the response surface model, which can be specifically described as follows: In the formula, It is the multiple correlation coefficient. It is an indicator for evaluating the accuracy of the response surface model in fitting the experimental samples. The closer a value is to 1, the smaller the error value. It is the total number of specific parameter combinations. Indicates the first A specific combination of parameters, It is the first Finite element simulation results corresponding to a specific combination of parameters The average value of the finite element simulation results representing all specific parameter combinations. It is the first The calculated values ​​of the response surface model for a specific combination of parameters. It should be noted that, depending on the actual situation, other evaluation indicators (e.g., average value) can also be selected in this invention. Maximum value Root mean square error (etc.) to evaluate the predictive power of response surface models.

[0090] It should be noted that the error analysis results of the response surface model obtained by this invention are based on calculations. As can be seen, the response surface model constructed in this invention has high fitting accuracy and good reliability. Therefore, the established response surface model can be used for subsequent optimization design.

[0093]

[0094] Step S10: Solve the mathematical model using a non-dominated sorting genetic algorithm, and output the solution set on the Pareto front. Specifically, as follows... Figure 2 As shown, step S10 includes steps S101-S1011.

[0095] S101: Generate the initial candidate solution set.

[0096] In this invention, a specific set of values ​​(i.e., a specific combination of parameters) of the structural geometric parameter design variables represents a candidate solution to the problem. First, this candidate solution needs to be encoded into a symbol string with a specific structure, called a chromosome. A chromosome consists of several symbols, each symbol being called a gene, and the length of the entire symbol string is the length of the chromosome. Each chromosome corresponds to a solution to the problem, also called an individual. N unique individuals are randomly and uniformly generated within the feasible region to form an initial candidate solution set, also called the initial population. Based on the optimization objective function defined in step S7 (the mapping relationship between the geometric structural design variables and the weighted average of various optimization objectives, which can be understood as a functional relationship), the objective function value corresponding to each individual is calculated (i.e., the objective function value corresponding to the individual corresponds to the geometric structural design variable, which corresponds to the weighted average of various optimization objectives), serving as its fitness value, used to quantify the overall performance and quality of the solution in terms of the optimization objectives.

[0097] S102: Perform fast non-dominated sorting on all individuals in the initial candidate solution set to divide the individuals into different non-dominated layers.

[0098] S103: Based on the non-dominated hierarchy, select individuals from the candidate solution set to participate in crossover and mutation operations to generate the offspring candidate solution set.

[0099] Crossover operation: This involves pairing up portions of chromosomes and randomly exchanging gene segments within each pair to generate new chromosomes. The probability of crossover is controlled by a predefined crossover probability, and the degree of crossover or the range of variation can be determined by the crossover distribution index.

[0100] Mutation operation: Randomly select a small number of chromosomes from the candidate solution set, and invert one of the genes (i.e., reverse its sign) to form a new solution. The probability of mutation is determined by the set mutation probability or mutation distribution index.

[0101] S104: Update the current generation. That is, update the current generation to Gen = Gen + 1.

[0102] S105: Merge the current generation's candidate solution set with the child generation's candidate solution set to form a new candidate solution set;

[0103] S106: If it is necessary to continue generating new candidate solution sets, proceed to step S107; if no further evolution is needed, proceed to step S1011.

[0104] S107: Perform fast non-dominated sorting on the new candidate solution set to obtain a new non-dominated hierarchical structure;

[0105] S108: Calculate the crowding degree for each individual in each non-dominated layer to obtain the individual crowding degree;

[0106] S109: Select individuals from the merged population to form a new candidate solution set based on the non-dominated hierarchy and individual crowding;

[0107] S1010: Repeated crossover and mutation operations generate the next generation of candidate solutions based on the new candidate solution set;

[0108] S1011: Determine whether the current algebra has reached the set maximum number of iterations; if the maximum number of iterations has been reached, output the non-dominated individuals in the current candidate solution set, which is the Pareto front solution set; if not, return to step S104 and continue the evolution.

[0109] It should be noted that non-dominated individuals belong to the Pareto front of the current population, meaning they cannot further optimize a certain objective without sacrificing other objectives. For example, for individual A to dominate individual B, it must satisfy the following conditions: A is no worse than B on all objective functions (i.e., ≤ or ≥, depending on the direction of optimization); and A is strictly better than B on at least one objective.

[0110] In this embodiment, the second-generation non-dominated sorting genetic algorithm NSGA-II, combined with crowding distance and elitist strategy, is selected in the Isight software to optimize the objective. The optimization parameters of the NSGA-II algorithm are selected as follows: Figure 3 As shown. By executing the optimization procedure, the Pareto optimization front solution set for the multi-objective optimization of the periodic thin-walled structure parameters is obtained as follows. Figure 4 As shown.

[0111] Step S11: Select an optimal solution set on the Pareto front to obtain a specific parameter combination and the corresponding thin-walled structure.

[0112] In step S11, since the optimization objectives cannot be simultaneously optimal, an optimization solution set can be selected on the Pareto front according to the actual engineering design requirements or the preference for the optimization objectives, so as to obtain a specific parameter combination and a thin-walled structure constructed from the specific parameter combination.

This structure is constructed using the aforementioned parameterizable periodic thin-walled structure design method based on multi-objective performance optimization. The periodic thin-walled structure is composed of multiple stacked sandwich structures. Each sandwich structure includes upper and lower rigid partitions (partition thickness denoted by tg) and a parameterizable periodic corrugated thin-walled core material sandwiched in between. Adjacent layers are connected by shared partitions; that is, the bottom partition of the upper sandwich structure also serves as the top partition of the lower sandwich structure. In this embodiment, the partitions are made of high-stiffness materials to withstand in-plane compressive loads, while the corrugated thin-walled core material is periodically bent along the vertical direction, providing excellent shear resistance and energy absorption performance. The porous structure in the structure provides good heat dissipation and convection characteristics.

[0114] like Figure 6 As shown, the cross-sectional patterns of different story heights of the thin-walled structure are composed of a family of functions generated by the same mathematical function prototype. The general form of the family of functions is: ,in, For amplitude control parameters, function prototype Total length.

The width of the chamber structure is The porosity (porosity refers to the percentage of pore volume in a material to the total volume, reflecting the density or porous nature of the material) of the single-layer chamber structure is controlled at 70%. Approximately 90% of the structure consists of multiple chambers stacked on top of each other to form an overall structure (i.e., a complete periodic thin-walled structure). In this embodiment, the entire chamber contains 9 individual cells, which are arranged alternately at equal intervals. Three identical thin-walled structures are arranged together at 120° angles to form a single cell.
