Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of metal plate shearing, and more specifically to a shearing plate design method and related equipment based on generative topology. Background Technology

[0002] Topology optimization technology aims to optimize the material distribution in a structure under given design space, load conditions and constraints in order to achieve design goals such as lightweight, high strength and high performance. It has been widely used in mechanical, architectural and aerospace fields.

[0003] Existing topology optimization methods mainly include density-based and evolutionary algorithm-based methods. These methods typically introduce a large number of design variables and iteratively approximate the optimal structural form. While they can achieve theoretically sound optimization results, they generally suffer from large computational scale, numerous iterations, and long solution cycles in practical applications, making them unsuitable for engineering applications requiring batch processing and rapid design. Furthermore, the structural forms obtained through traditional topology optimization often exhibit problems such as blurred boundaries and numerous local micro-holes, necessitating geometric reconstruction and process modifications in subsequent stages, thereby increasing the design cycle and potentially leading to a decline in structural performance.

[0004] With the development of additive manufacturing technology, its layer-by-layer forming method has improved the manufacturing feasibility of complex structures to a certain extent. However, the following shortcomings still exist in the existing technology: on the one hand, there is a lack of effective coordination mechanism between topology optimization results and additive manufacturing process parameters, making it difficult to balance structural performance and forming quality; on the other hand, in the design process of components such as shear plates that are subjected to cyclic loads, existing topology optimization methods usually take stiffness or mass as the main optimization target, lacking comprehensive constraints on factors such as energy dissipation performance, fatigue performance, and the thermal effects of the forming process.

[0041] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the present invention clearer, the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the embodiments and accompanying drawings. The illustrative embodiments and descriptions of the present invention are only used to explain the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention.

[0042] Example 1

[0043] A clipboard design method based on generative topology, such as Figure 1-2 As shown, it includes:

[0044] Obtain the design conditions for the shear plate based on generative topology. The design conditions include at least: geometric parameters, boundary connection parameters, cyclic load spectrum parameters, upper volume constraint, and minimum feature size constraint for additive manufacturing.

[0045] Based on the design conditions, the design conditions are encoded into condition vectors and input into the generative model to generate at least one candidate topology configuration;

[0046] Geometric reconstruction and meshing are performed on each candidate topology, followed by cyclic load finite element analysis to obtain a set of energy consumption evaluation indicators. This set of indicators includes at least the area under the hysteresis curve. Equivalent damping ratio and secant stiffness degradation rate Among them, the area of ​​the hysteresis curve The equivalent damping ratio is calculated by integral calculation based on the force-displacement curve of the complete loading and unloading cycle. The secant stiffness degradation rate is determined based on the equivalent energy method. The stiffness was calculated based on the change of secant stiffness under adjacent loading cycles.

[0047] The energy consumption evaluation index set is compared with a preset energy consumption criterion, the preset energy consumption criterion including at least the following: , , When the preset energy consumption criterion is not met, the topology configuration and / or energy consumption evaluation index set are regenerated until the preset energy consumption criterion is met, or the preset maximum number of iterations is reached and the iteration is terminated to obtain the target shear plate structure.

[0048] An additive manufacturing printing path is constructed based on the target shear plate structure, and the maximum temperature gradient of the printing process is obtained based on a thermal process prediction model. The thermal process prediction model can be any one of the following: finite element thermal analysis model, simplified heat conduction model, or prediction model trained based on historical data.

[0049] Will With preset temperature gradient threshold Comparison: When If necessary, adjust at least one process parameter and / or path parameter, and recalculate. until ;when At that time, the output is a printing path and manufacturing file that meet the temperature gradient constraints, which are used to form and manufacture the target shear plate structure.

[0050] In this embodiment, energy dissipation evaluation parameters such as hysteresis area, equivalent stiffness, and equivalent damping ratio are calculated for each candidate topology configuration, and compared with the corresponding parameters of the initial design shear plate. The improvement factor of the hysteresis area relative to the initial design shear plate is set to 1.2 to 2.0 times, more preferably 1.4 to 1.8 times; the equivalent damping ratio is not less than 15%, more preferably 18% to 25%; and the secant stiffness degradation rate for three consecutive cycles at the design displacement amplitude is not greater than 20%, more preferably not greater than 10% to 15%. When a candidate topology configuration does not meet the above criteria, the generative topology optimization results are re-acquired and shape optimization processing is performed before re-evaluation, until the energy dissipation performance criteria are met or the preset number of iterations is reached. The equivalent stiffness is calculated using secant stiffness and is used to determine the secant stiffness degradation rate.

[0051] In this embodiment, the preferred values ​​are: hysteresis curve area increase factor of 1.5 times, equivalent damping ratio of 20%, and secant stiffness degradation rate controlled within 15%.

[0052] Through the above evaluation and rollback optimization process, while ensuring that the energy consumption performance of the shear plate meets the design requirements, the edges of the structure are smoothed, thereby improving the stability and consistency of subsequent additive manufacturing.

[0053] Based on the target shear plate structure that meets the above criteria, manufacturing documents are generated, and the structure is formed and manufactured using metal additive manufacturing equipment to obtain a solid shear plate component that meets the mechanical performance requirements.

[0054] In this embodiment, the initial design shear plate is a regular plate-type shear component without topology optimization, and its material parameters, dimensional parameters, and connection method are consistent with the target shear plate. The generative model is a conditional generative adversarial network (cGAN), and the conditional vector includes at least the geometric dimensional parameters, the cyclic load spectrum parameters, and the volume upper limit constraint. The discriminator of the cGAN is a multi-scale discriminator to simultaneously constrain the global connectivity structure and local detail features of the candidate topology configuration.

[0055] The construction and training process of the clipboard-generated topology optimization model is as follows: Figure 1As shown, firstly, an initial shape scheme is set within a preset design space, and constraints such as size, volume fraction, or mass upper limit are given. Based on the optimization criterion (OC), topology optimization of the shear plate structure is performed to form training samples and establish a shear plate topology optimization result database. Subsequently, a conditional generative design model (e.g., cGAN) is constructed, encoding the design conditions as condition vectors as input. The generative design model is trained to learn the mapping relationship between "optimization conditions and topology results." When the convergence criterion of the training process meets preset requirements, the shear plate generative topology optimization model is output.

[0056] The process of generating shear plate structures, reconstructing geometry, evaluating performance, and outputting additive manufacturing based on a trained generative topology optimization model is as follows: Figure 2 As shown, the shear plate optimization conditions are input into the shear plate generative topology optimization model, and an image representation of the shear plate topology is output. The image representation is then converted to obtain a vector representation of the topological components, and a mesh file for finite element analysis is generated accordingly. Based on preset loads and boundary conditions, finite element analysis is performed on the structure, and energy dissipation performance indicators are calculated. When the energy dissipation performance does not meet the preset criteria, the topology configuration is regenerated and / or the rough edges are shaped and re-evaluated until the criteria are met. For target structures that meet the criteria, the additive manufacturing printing path is further planned, and manufacturing files (e.g., LS files containing printing path information) are generated to complete the forming and manufacturing of the shear plate components.

[0057] In this embodiment, the geometric reconstruction and meshing process includes: performing region growth segmentation on the binary pixel image of the candidate topology, extracting the boundary using an edge detection operator, and performing curve fitting on the boundary to obtain a closed vector contour, and then generating a finite element mesh based on the closed vector contour; the edge detection operator is the Sobel operator, and the curve fitting is the Bezier curve fitting.

[0058] Specifically, the optimization conditions are input into the trained generative model, and a high-resolution pixel map of the clipboard topology optimization configuration is output.

[0059] The pixel image is segmented using a region growing algorithm to identify pixel regions with similar colors and interconnectedness as the same pixel region. The Sobel edge detection operator is used to extract the boundaries between each pixel region, and the extracted boundary curves are fitted with Bezier curves to eliminate jagged pixel boundaries and form closed vector paths. The corresponding color information of the original pixel image is filled into the closed vector paths to generate a vector image file containing geometric attribute parameters.

[0060] Based on the vector image file, the topology optimization structure is discretized using mesh generation software to generate a mesh file for finite element analysis. In the finite element analysis environment, material parameters, load conditions, and boundary constraints are set for the mesh file. Shape optimization is performed on the rough edge region of the topology optimization result, with the objective function being to minimize the maximum equivalent stress of the structure under cyclic loading conditions.

[0061] After shape optimization, the node coordinate information of the optimized structure is exported. For the same layer of forming material, a genetic algorithm is used to plan the printing path to obtain the printing trajectory with the shortest path length. The genetic algorithm is a commonly used intelligent optimization algorithm in this field, and its encoding method, selection strategy, crossover method, mutation method, and termination condition can be set according to specific application scenarios. The fitness function of the genetic algorithm aims to minimize the total length of the printing path in the same layer, and constrains path continuity and consistency of start and end points.

[0062] In this embodiment, after obtaining the finite element mesh, the method further includes performing the above-described shape optimization process to obtain an optimized structure for the cyclic load finite element analysis.

[0063] In this embodiment, the , , At least one of them is determined using a relative benchmark threshold, which is determined based on the corresponding energy consumption evaluation index of the initial design shear plate.

[0064] In this embodiment, the The threshold is within a preset range, and when When the adjustment includes at least one of the following: reducing energy density, increasing the scanning interval, adjusting the scanning order to print regions with lower predicted temperatures first and then regions with higher predicted temperatures, or setting the interlayer dwell time; when When printing, the path is output according to the shortest path at the same level.

[0065] like Figure 3As shown, in this embodiment, the generator of the generative model is used to generate a high-resolution pixel image (e.g., a binary image or a grayscale density image) of the clipboard topology under conditional vector constraints. The generator includes a conditional encoder and a generative network: the conditional encoder performs multi-layer feature encoding on the conditional vector and fuses it with a random noise vector (random latent variable) before inputting it into the generative network; the generative network uses a transposed convolutional structure with progressive upsampling to map the fused features to a topological image of the target resolution, and preferably sets residual blocks and skip connections during the upsampling process to enhance feature transfer stability and suppress local artifacts; furthermore, the generative network preferably includes an attention enhancement module (e.g., an ECA module) to improve the ability to express key structural details. The generator output preferably uses a nonlinear activation function to constrain the output range in order to obtain a thresholdable topological representation. The number of network layers, channels, convolutional kernel parameters, and activation / normalization configuration can be adjusted according to the target resolution and computing resources.

[0066] like Figure 4 As shown, in this embodiment, the discriminator employs a multi-scale structure to simultaneously constrain the global structural rationality and local detail features of candidate topological configurations. The multi-scale discriminator includes multiple single-scale discriminators at different scales; each single-scale discriminator receives the topological image at its corresponding scale and its matching conditional information, and outputs a true / false discrimination result. The input images at different scales can be obtained by performing average pooling or downsampling on the original input image. The single-scale discriminator preferably consists of multiple convolutional units, each of which may include convolutional layers, normalization layers, and nonlinear activation layers, and outputs a discrimination probability or discrimination score at the end. Through joint optimization of the multi-scale discrimination results, the trained generator can generate topological configurations that simultaneously satisfy global connectivity constraints and local detail constraints.

[0067] This invention addresses the problems of high computational cost, long design cycle, and disconnect between structural performance constraints and manufacturing processes in existing shear plate topology optimization design methods. It proposes a shear plate design method based on the collaborative optimization of generative topology and additive manufacturing.

[0068] This invention uses the geometric dimensions, boundary connection parameters, cyclic load spectrum parameters, and volume upper limit constraints of the shear plate as design conditions. By constructing a condition-generative topology generation model, it achieves rapid generation of the shear plate topology configuration, avoiding the large number of iterative solutions in traditional density-based or evolutionary algorithm-based topology optimization, thus improving the efficiency of structural design.

[0069] In the topology generation stage, this invention introduces an energy dissipation performance evaluation mechanism based on cyclic load finite element analysis. It quantifies and calculates key indicators such as the hysteresis curve area, equivalent damping ratio, and stiffness degradation rate of candidate topology configurations, and combines them with a backtracking optimization strategy to form a closed-loop design process. This ensures that the generated structure meets the requirements of lightweighting while also taking into account good cyclic energy dissipation performance and mechanical stability.

[0070] Regarding manufacturing constraints, this invention further uses the thermal process prediction results in the additive manufacturing process as design constraints. By adaptively adjusting the printing path and process parameters, the topology design results and the forming manufacturing process are optimized in synergy, which effectively reduces the risk of residual stress and forming defects, and improves the consistency and reliability of the finished product structure.

[0071] This invention integrates generative topology generation, performance evaluation, shape optimization, and manufacturing process control to construct a holistic design methodology system for the cyclic service performance and manufacturing feasibility of shear plates, which is suitable for high-performance shear plate structure design scenarios involving mass production and rapid manufacturing.
