Abstract

AbstractThis paper presents volume-constrained stress minimization-based, topology optimization. The maximum entropy (maxent) basis functions-based meshless method for two-dimensional linear elastic structures is explored. This work focuses to test the effectiveness of the meshless method in handling the stress singularities during the topology optimization process. The commonly used moving least square basis functions are replaced with maximum entropy basis functions, as the latter possess weak Kronecker delta property which leads to the finite element method (FEM) like displacement boundary conditions imposition. The maxent basis functions are calculated once at the beginning of the simulation and then used in optimization at every iteration. Young’s modulus for each background cell is interpolated using the modified solid isotropic material with penalization approach. An open source pre-processor CUBIT is used. A comparison of the proposed approach with the FEM is carried out using a diverse set of problems with simple and complex geometries of structured and unstructured discretization, to establish that maxent-based meshless methods perform better in tackling the stress singularities due to its smooth stress field.
