Description

Porous model compact topology optimization method based on Voronoi division
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of structure optimization, in particular to a porous model compact topology optimization method based on Voronoi division.
Background
Porous models are widely used in industry with relatively low density and versatile characteristics, and have demonstrated unique and superior industrial value in important equipment or instruments such as aerospace components, medical implant devices, energy absorbing protection devices, and the like. However, due to its extremely complex structure, automated design of porous models with specified target properties presents major challenges. The dual-scale topological optimization method is a porous model design method which is widely researched at present. Under this framework, the design domain is typically discretized into a set of very fine voxel cells to capture the complex structural distribution of the porous model. These discrete elements are used to represent the basic geometry of the model, as well as the design parameters and finite element meshes for performance optimization. Under this representation, the porous model design problem is expressed as an optimal voxel cell distribution under certain physical or geometric constraints to meet specific design goals. This approach involves iterative structural simulation and re-modification until convergence.
For complex porous models, discrete representation based on voxel cells brings a large amount of design freedom, corresponding to dense design space. The inherent challenge is that explicit geometric information of the model is lost during the optimization process, often resulting in an ineffective porous model that cannot be practically manufactured, possibly including broken, elongated or very small pore distributions. Therefore, this approach requires the application of cumbersome geometric constraints to generate efficient models or to meet specific shape control objectives. Also in such a discrete representation, the shape of the structure depends on the resolution of the voxel grid, and it is very challenging to extract fine features in the optimization process. Furthermore, the large number of voxel units as the underlying finite element mesh poses a serious challenge to the computational efficiency of the simulation. The use of classical numerical homogenization methods can improve efficiency but with up to 20 times the loss of accuracy.
Another commonly used method is to embed some type of porous element in accordance with a specified material or physical field. This strategy allows easy control of the model shape, but greatly limits the cell types used, and thus the physical properties that can be achieved by the porous model. The embedded cells may be expanded by inverse homogenization methods or parametric reconstruction processes, and although these methods can produce a large number of porous cells, candidate cells can become very limited when it is desired that neighboring cells remain geometrically connected. More importantly, such methods are generally only applicable to conventional design domains, such as cuboids.
Disclosure of Invention
