Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of phononic crystal topology optimization technology, specifically to a multi-objective topology optimization method for two-dimensional phononic crystals based on the gradient method. Background Technology
[0002] Phononic crystals are artificial materials with periodic structures that can modulate the propagation behavior of elastic waves, finding wide applications in vibration suppression, acoustic wave conduction, and acoustic stealth. Traditional phononic crystal design often relies on experience or trial-and-error methods, making it difficult to simultaneously ensure bandgap performance while maintaining other physical properties such as structural stiffness or thermal conductivity. With the increasing demands for multifunctional materials in engineering applications, achieving synergistic optimization between wide bandwidth and good mechanical / thermal properties has become a critical issue that urgently needs to be addressed.
[0003] Topology optimization can achieve optimal configuration of structural performance by optimizing the spatial distribution of materials within the design domain. However, the bandgap characteristics of phononic crystals are intricately coupled with objectives such as structural compliance and thermal compliance, making it difficult for traditional single-objective optimization methods to achieve a balanced design of multiple physical properties. Furthermore, the non-smoothness of the bandgap objective function and the numerical instability in the multi-objective sensitivity integration process also limit the further application of topology optimization in the collaborative design of multiple properties of phononic crystals.
[0004] While some existing research attempts to apply topology optimization to phononic crystal design, most focuses on optimizing single bandgap performance, lacking a comprehensive consideration of multi-physics performance. For example, phononic crystal structures in aerospace applications require excellent vibration isolation performance (wide bandgap), sufficient structural stiffness (low structural flexibility) to withstand mechanical loads, or good heat dissipation performance (low thermal flexibility) to prevent overheating. Simply pursuing a wider bandgap often leads to insufficient structural stiffness or deteriorated thermal performance, and vice versa. The lack of a topology optimization framework that can effectively and synergistically optimize the bandgap and multiple mechanical / thermal properties of phononic crystals results in poor overall performance of the designed structures, making them difficult to apply directly to complex multi-physics environments. Furthermore, traditional multi-objective optimization methods often employ fixed-weight strategies, making it difficult to flexibly adapt to the diverse needs of different engineering scenarios. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop a method for efficient and stable multi-objective topology optimization of phononic crystals to meet the design needs of modern engineering for multifunctional materials.

Detailed Implementation
[0022] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this invention clearer, the invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative and not intended to limit the invention.
[0023] Example 1 like Figure 1 As shown, this embodiment provides a multi-objective topology optimization method for two-dimensional phononic crystals based on the gradient method, including the following steps: S1: Construct a phononic crystal finite element analysis model, using the relative density of the elements as the design variable, and use a material interpolation model to parameterize the material properties, including Lamé coefficient, elastic modulus, mass density and thermal conductivity. In this embodiment, the specific problems of constructing the finite element analysis model of the phononic crystal include: setting a two-dimensional phononic crystal unit cell design domain, adopting a two-phase material system, setting material volume fraction constraints, establishing a wave equation finite element model under periodic boundary conditions based on Bloch's theorem, selecting the adjacent bandgap numbers to be optimized; setting the boundary conditions and loads required for structural compliance or thermal compliance optimization, and simultaneously establishing a finite element model for structural mechanical analysis or steady-state heat conduction analysis. In this embodiment, the two-dimensional phononic crystal unit cell design domain adopts a 1×1 unit length square lattice, discretized into 32×32 four-node quadrilateral elements. The two-phase material system consists of two isotropic materials: material 1 has a density of 1000 kg / m³, a first Lamé parameter of 5.77 GPa, and a second Lamé parameter of 3.85 GPa; material 2 has a density of 8000 kg / m³, a first Lamé parameter of 577 GPa, and a second Lamé parameter of 385 GPa. The volume fraction constraint of material 2 is set to 0.4. The Heaviside projection function is used to promote a clear 0-1 material distribution. The projection parameter starts from an initial value of 1 and doubles every 20 iterations, increasing to a maximum of 128. The boundary conditions for structural flexibility optimization are specifically set as follows: a vertically downward concentrated unit load is applied to the upper left node of the unit cell; all nodes on the left boundary of the unit cell are constrained to displacement in the X direction; the lower right node of the unit cell is completely fixed, constraining all degrees of freedom.
[0024] In this embodiment, a finite element model of the elastic wave control equation under periodic boundary conditions is established based on Bloch's theorem, and the displacement vector can be expressed as: ,in yes A periodic function whose periodicity and structure are the same. Let represent the Bloch wave vector. 31 wave vector points were precisely sampled at the boundary of the irreducible Brillouin zone, among which... 10 points in the direction, 10 points in the direction, There are 11 points in the direction. The bandgap calculation uses the KS function to aggregate the characteristic frequencies; the objective function can be expressed as... , The characteristic frequency of a single cell is denoted by , and n represents the number of points obtained from the irreducible Brillouin zone. The parameters of the KS function are set to . , Simultaneously, establish a finite element model for structural mechanics or steady-state heat conduction analysis: (1) Calculate the structural flexibility, the objective function of which is defined as ,in The global stiffness matrix. To solve the equilibrium equations The obtained displacement vector, For the load vector. (2) Calculate the thermal compliance, the objective function of thermal compliance is defined as ,in The global stiffness matrix. To solve the equilibrium equations The obtained displacement vector, This is the heat-carrying vector.
[0025] In this embodiment, the material interpolation model uses linear interpolation in the bandgap calculation. The interpolation method can be expressed as follows: ,in Indicates density, This represents the first Lamé coefficient. This represents the second Lamé coefficient, with the subscript indicating material 1 or material 2. In structural flexibility analysis, an exponential penalty model based on the elastic modulus is used, and the interpolation method can be expressed as... In thermal flexibility analysis, an exponential penalty model for thermal conductivity is used, and the interpolation method can be expressed as follows: The penalty factor p is adjusted according to the requirements of numerical stability. S2: Sample multiple wave vector points along a set path at the boundary of the irreducible Brillouin zone, solve the eigenvalue problem corresponding to the elastic wave control equation, and obtain discrete characteristic frequency data; S3: The KS (Kreisselmeier-Steinhauser function) is used to smooth the discrete feature frequencies to effectively solve the non-differentiability problem caused by the switching of the characteristic frequency order during the optimization process. Based on the KS function, the discrete feature frequencies are aggregated to construct a continuously differentiable bandgap width objective function. In this embodiment, the KS function uses a lower bound aggregation method when processing the lower bandgap frequency and an upper bound aggregation method when processing the upper bandgap frequency. The approximation accuracy is controlled by adjusting the aggregation parameters, wherein the selection of the aggregation parameters takes into account the numerical range and distribution characteristics of the characteristic frequencies. S4: Construct a multi-objective function whose objective is to simultaneously maximize the bandgap width and minimize the structural compliance, or simultaneously maximize the bandgap width and minimize the thermal compliance. In this embodiment, a multi-objective function based on the weighted sum method is constructed, expressed as: ; in, Given the bandgap objective function, the KS function is used to aggregate the characteristic frequencies. For structural flexibility or thermal flexibility , and It is a weighting factor, and satisfies ; In this embodiment, to comprehensively explore the design space, five representative combinations of weighting factors are set: ( , ), ( , ), ( , ), ( , ), ( , ).
[0026] S5: Calculate the sensitivity of each objective function to the design variables, and perform two-stage normalization on the sensitivity sequence of each objective function. In this embodiment, the sensitivities of the bandgap target and the structural and thermal flexibility targets to the design variables are calculated separately. The bandgap sensitivity is solved using an analytical method based on eigenvalue derivatives, while the structural and thermal flexibility sensitivities are solved using the adjoint variable method. Furthermore, a logarithmic transformation combined with a minimum-maximum normalization method is used to process sensitivity values of different orders of magnitude. The bandgap sensitivity is solved precisely using an analytical method based on eigenvalue derivatives, specifically in the form of: ; The structural flexibility sensitivity is solved using the adjoint variable method, in the form of: , Represents the element displacement vector. Let represent the element stiffness matrix of material 2. Material interpolation uses the SIMP model, and the elastic modulus interpolation formula is: Punishment factor .
[0027] The thermal flexibility sensitivity is also solved using the adjoint variable method, in the form of: , Represents the element temperature vector. This represents the unit thermal conductivity matrix of material 2. Material interpolation uses the SIMP model, and the elastic modulus interpolation formula is: Punishment factor .
[0028] In this embodiment, the two-stage normalization process of the sensitivity sequence includes two stages: logarithmic transformation and minimum-maximum normalization. The logarithmic transformation is used to compress the dynamic range of the sensitivity, and the minimum-maximum normalization is used to map the transformed sensitivity to a standard numerical range. In this embodiment, the original bandgap sensitivity value is subjected to a base-10 logarithmic transformation. The transformed value is then mapped to an interval using a maximum-minimum normalization method, effectively eliminating the order-of-magnitude differences in sensitivity across different physical fields. Structural flexibility is directly mapped using the maximum-minimum normalization method. An interval-based sensitivity filtering scheme is used, with the filtering radius set to [value missing]. A bilinear weighting function is used to ensure filtering effectiveness. Starting from the second iteration, a historical averaging strategy is applied, with the mixing coefficient between the current sensitivity and historical sensitivity set to 0.5 to smooth the update process. The optimal criterion method is used to update the design variables, with the moving average limit set to 0.05. The Lagrange multipliers are used to accurately solve for volume constraints using the bisection method.
[0029] S6: The normalized sensitivity is weighted and fused using preset weighting coefficients to form a unified comprehensive sensitivity field; S7: Update design variables and perform iterative optimization, specifically including: fusing the normalized sensitivities according to weighting factors, updating design variables based on the comprehensive sensitivity field using the optimal criterion method, and the specific update method is as follows. ,in , For the weighted objective function, For Lagrange multipliers, The value is a volume function. Sensitivity filtering, historical averaging, and Heaviside projection techniques are combined to ensure the numerical stability of the optimization process. In this embodiment, the optimal criterion method introduces a movement constraint mechanism during the design variable update process by setting a damping coefficient. To limit the maximum variation of design variables in a single iteration, the damping coefficient is determined based on the nonlinearity of the optimization problem; In this embodiment, the sensitivity filtering adopts a linear filtering method based on convolution operation, the filtering radius is kept in a fixed ratio with the cell size, and the weight function is determined according to the distance between the cell centers; In this embodiment, the projection method uses a continuously differentiable approximate step function. The clarity of the material boundary is controlled by adjusting the projection parameters, and the projection parameters can be adaptively adjusted during the optimization process. S8: Monitor the relative change history of the combined objective function and determine whether to terminate the optimization process based on the convergence criterion.
[0030] In this embodiment, the convergence criterion adopts the judgment standard based on the relative change of the objective function, and comprehensively considers the changes of the design variables. When the preset convergence criterion is met, the optimization process is terminated and the optimal topology with a clear material interface is output. This embodiment sets a dual convergence criterion: optimization stops when the relative change of the objective function is less than a set threshold or when the maximum number of iterations is reached. This embodiment is applicable to optimizing the band gap generated between multiple adjacent energy bands by in-plane waves in phononic crystals, wherein the selection of the target energy band is determined according to the actual engineering application requirements.
[0031] In this embodiment, the two constituent materials of the phononic crystal have significant differences in elastic modulus, mass density and thermal conductivity parameters. The contrast between the material properties affects the band gap formation range and optimization results, and the phononic crystal unit cell is discretized using a regular quadrilateral grid. This invention effectively solves the common performance trade-off problem in multiphysics design through a gradient-driven topology optimization method. It has important application value in fields such as aerospace and automotive industries that have high requirements for integrated structural-thermal-acoustic functional materials. Furthermore, by integrating a multi-objective optimization process, it significantly improves the overall performance design efficiency of phononic crystals under multi-frequency conditions.

The material system consists of two isotropic materials: Material 1 has a density of 1000 kg / m³, a first Lamé parameter of 5.77 GPa, and a second Lamé parameter of 3.85 GPa; Material 2 has a density of 8000 kg / m³, a first Lamé parameter of 577 GPa, and a second Lamé parameter of 385 GPa. The volume fraction constraint of Material 2 is set to 0.4. The Heaviside projection function is used to promote a clear 0-1 material distribution. The projection parameter starts from an initial value of 1 and doubles every 20 iterations, increasing to a maximum of 128. The boundary conditions for structural flexibility optimization are specifically set as follows: a vertically downward concentrated unit load is applied to the upper left node of the unit cell; all nodes on the left boundary of the unit cell are constrained in the X-direction displacement; the lower right node of the unit cell is fully fixed, constraining all degrees of freedom.

The structural flexibility sensitivity is solved using the adjoint variable method, in the form of: Material interpolation uses the SIMP model, and the elastic modulus interpolation formula is: Punishment factor .
[0034] S4: Sensitivity processing and design variable update optimization; The original bandgap sensitivity values are subjected to a base-10 logarithmic transformation. The transformed values are then mapped to intervals using a maximum-minimum normalization method, effectively eliminating the order-of-magnitude differences in sensitivity across different physical fields. Structural flexibility sensitivity and thermal flexibility sensitivity are directly mapped using the maximum-minimum normalization method. An interval-based sensitivity filtering scheme is employed, with the filtering radius set to [value missing]. A bilinear weighting function is used to ensure the filtering effect. The historical averaging strategy is applied starting from the second iteration. The mixing coefficient of the current sensitivity and the historical sensitivity is set to 0.5 to smooth the update process. Heaviside projection is used to obtain clear topological results. The optimal criterion method is used to update the design variables. The moving limit is set to 0.05. The Lagrange multiplier is used to solve the volume constraint accurately by the bisection method. S5: Convergence Judgment and Optimization Result Analysis: The design variables are updated based on the optimal criterion method, and the convergence condition is judged based on the relative change of the combined objective function. Through iterative optimization, a phononic crystal configuration with both wide bandwidth characteristics and excellent multi-physics performance is finally obtained. As shown in Figures 2(a)-2(e), this embodiment obtains a comparison of the final topological configuration and performance of the seventh bandgap under five different weighting factors. Specifically, the weights are... and At that time, the structure achieved a relative bandgap width of 34.86%, while the structural flexibility was improved compared to single-objective optimization. , The improvement was approximately 40%, and about 50% better than the initial design. The optimization results under other weight combinations also met the expected goals, successfully achieving an effective balance between wide bandwidth and high stiffness.
[0035] This embodiment sets a dual convergence criterion: when the relative change in the objective function is less than a threshold... Or stop optimization when the maximum number of iterations (200) is reached, when the weight coefficients... , The optimization iteration history at that time is as follows Figure 3 As shown, optimization typically reaches a stable state after 70-150 iterations.
[0036] Example 3 This embodiment demonstrates the multi-objective topology optimization design process for the fifth band gap (between the fifth and sixth bands) and thermal compliance. Except for the following technical contents, the optimization process and parameter settings in this embodiment are the same as those in Embodiment 2: In this embodiment, the performance objective in the problem-solving step is changed to the fifth bandgap and thermal compliance. The thermal boundary conditions are set to apply zero-temperature boundary conditions at the four corners of the unit cell and a unit heat source at the center of the unit cell. The material thermal conductivity is set to that of material 1. Material 2 is Thermal flexibility is defined as the thermal conductivity performance index of a system under given thermal boundary conditions. The smaller the value, the better the heat dissipation performance.

When the weight is... , At the same time, the optimized structure achieved a relative bandgap width of 35.00% while maintaining low thermal flexibility, compared to , This set of weights resulted in a five-order-of-magnitude reduction, which is also five orders of magnitude lower than the initial design, demonstrating excellent overall acoustic-thermal performance. Of particular note is that when the weights are... , When performing single-objective optimization, although the largest relative bandgap of 48.66% was obtained, its thermal flexibility deteriorated significantly, resulting in the worst heat dissipation performance. When the weighting coefficient is... and The optimization iteration history at that time is as follows Figure 5 As shown, the optimization process has good convergence and stability. These results fully demonstrate that by adjusting the weighting factor, an effective trade-off can be made between the fifth bandgap characteristics and heat dissipation performance, providing a flexible design method for phononic crystal design in different application scenarios.
