24 Respectively placing the materials and the properties of the middle grid units of the first cylinder section 1 and the second cylinder section 2 into different groups, keeping the corresponding parameters consistent with the cylinders, and giving corresponding units; in the structural design part of the air cylinder, only the elastic properties of the material line are considered.

256 Defining an objective function, submitting a topological optimization calculation model, defining the minimum overall flexibility as a target, and calculating to obtain a unit density distribution cloud picture on the first barrel section 1.
26 A cross-section topological optimization model is established.
Thirdly, structural design is carried out on the end cover of the air cylinder based on a morphology optimization means;
31 When a morphology optimization model is established for the cylinder body of the air cylinder by a section topology optimization method, the middle surface of the end cover model is extracted, and two-dimensional shell cell grid division is performed.
32 The connecting ring surface of the end cover and the cylinder body is defined as an undesigned area, and the rest curved surface part units are defined as a signed area.

and (3) deriving the optimization calculation results obtained in the second step and the third step in an STP format, and drawing a three-dimensional geometric model of the air reservoir by combining process conditions, material density distribution characteristics and internal volume requirements. Thus, the initial design of the air reservoir structure is completed.

51 Establishing a finite element grid model based on the three-dimensional geometric model of the air reservoir obtained in the step four; the air cylinder is fixed on the vehicle body through the bracket, and has a certain constraint effect on the deformation of the air cylinder, so that the influence of the air cylinder fixing bracket is needed to be considered when the strength and durability analysis is carried out. Because the joint of the reinforcing rib and the cylinder body is generally provided with a chamfer, the characteristic of the fillet of the transition area is disappeared when the middle surface is extracted, and therefore, when the simulation modeling of the strength durability performance is carried out, the grid division cannot be carried out by adopting a shell unit, but the division should be carried out by adopting a second-order tetrahedron C3DM10 entity unit.
52 Establishing a connection relationship between the components of the air reservoir; binding contact relation is established between the bracket and the cylinder body, and between the end cover and the cylinder body; the fixed point is connected with the ring surface node in the bolt hole of the bracket through a motion coupling constraint relation.

Because the influence of the plastic property of the material is considered in part of working conditions, a real stress-strain curve of the material can be obtained through a tensile test, or a plastic constitutive equation of the material can be fitted according to the type of the material, the strength of the material and the Swift-Hohenberg formula.

Comparing the analysis result with the strength limit of the material, and if the stress value is smaller than the strength limit, carrying out the next working condition b; if the stress value is largeAt the intensity limit, local structural optimization is carried out or the second step and the third step are returned according to the conditions until the requirement is met.
Working condition b, namely the working condition of maximum working pressure, taking material plasticity into consideration, constraining the freedom degree of a bracket fixed point in the direction of 1-6 by the established finite element model of the air reservoir according to actual conditions, and adding pressure excitation loads perpendicular to the surfaces of the end cover and the inner surface of the cylinder body along the unit normal direction respectively, wherein the load is Q max And then carrying out finite element analysis and calculation to obtain a plastic strain distribution cloud picture of the unloaded material. If the plastic strain value is lower than 0.5%, carrying out the next working condition c; if the plastic strain value is greater than 0.5%, local structural optimization is optionally performed or the second and third steps are returned until the plastic strain value is satisfied.

Wherein C is 0 The circumferential original size of the air cylinder is obtained after unloading under the working condition C; l (L) 0 The axial original dimension of the air cylinder is L, and the unloading is the axial dimension of the air cylinder after unloading under the working condition c. If the permanent deformation of the circumferential dimension is less than or equal to 1 percent and the permanent deformation of the axial dimension is less than or equal to 1.5 percent, the next working condition d is carried out; if any one is not satisfied, local structural optimization is optionally performed or the second step and the third step are returned until the satisfaction is achieved.
The working condition d, namely the durable working condition, does not consider the plasticity of materials, and the specific constraint and loading mode are the same as the above, the durable working condition of the air reservoir defined by the invention is a constant-amplitude durable working condition, the stress distribution of the air reservoir assembly under the working condition of minimum working pressure and the working condition of maximum working pressure is calculated respectively, and the stress distribution results obtained by the calculation of the two working conditions are imported into FEMFAT software for durable analysis. The curve shown in fig. 6 is circularly loaded for 20 ten thousand times, the damage value is recommended to be used as a durability analysis target, and if the damage value is less than 1, the calculation is completed; if the damage value is more than or equal to 1, local structure optimization is carried out or the second step and the third step are returned according to the situation until the damage value is met.

Example IV
In this example, the strength durability simulation process is described in detail by taking the L-type air cylinder as an example in the above case.
Firstly, the obtained optimization calculation result is exported in STP format, and the three-dimensional geometric model of the air reservoir is drawn by combining the process conditions, the material density distribution characteristics and the internal volume requirements. As shown in fig. 13. And then establishing a finite element model of the air reservoir, and performing strength durability simulation analysis. And importing the obtained air reservoir geometric model into finite element analysis software, and establishing a grid model for strength durability simulation verification. If the strength durability meets the evaluation index, the calculation is finished; if the strength durability does not meet the evaluation index, carrying out local optimization or returning to the second step and the third step, and readjusting the optimization constraint condition until the structure of the air reservoir meets the strength durability requirement. When the strength and durability of the air cylinder are simulated, the key points are as follows:
1) And establishing a finite element grid model based on the geometric model obtained by the early structural design. Because the joint of the reinforcing rib and the cylinder body is generally provided with a chamfer, the characteristic of the fillet of the transition area is disappeared when the middle surface is extracted, and therefore, when the simulation modeling of the strength durability performance is carried out, the grid division cannot be carried out by adopting a shell unit, but the division should be carried out by adopting a second-order tetrahedron C3DM10 entity unit.
2) And establishing the connection relation among the components of the air reservoir. Binding contact relation is established between the bracket and the cylinder body, and between the air storage cylinder end cover and the cylinder body; the anchor points are connected with the nodes of the annulus in the bolt holes of the bracket by a kinematic coupling constraint relationship, as shown in figure 14.

And respectively fitting plastic stress strain curves of the two materials according to the material type, the material strength and the Swift-Hohenberg formula, and writing the plastic stress strain curves into corresponding working condition material files.
4) Defining boundary conditions of the strength and durability simulation analysis of the air reservoir, and submitting the load corresponding to each working condition to calculation.

The maximum stress value of the end cover of the air storage cylinder under the working condition a in the case is 176Mpa, the maximum stress value of the cylinder body is 232Mpa, the maximum stress value of the air storage cylinder is lower than the strength limit value of the corresponding material, the working condition a meets the requirement, and the analysis of the next working condition b is continued.
And c, under the working condition b, namely the working condition of maximum working pressure, taking the plasticity of materials into consideration, restricting the freedom degree of the fixed point of the bracket in the direction of 1-6 by the established finite element model of the air storage cylinder according to practical conditions, respectively adding pressure excitation load vertical to the surface of the air storage cylinder along the normal direction of the unit on the inner surfaces of the end cover and the cylinder body, wherein the load is 19bar, then submitting finite element analysis and calculation to obtain a plastic strain distribution cloud picture of the unloaded materials, wherein the maximum plastic strain is 0.112%, the requirement is met, and carrying out the next working condition c.
And c, namely a minimum bursting pressure working condition, taking the plasticity of the material into consideration, restricting the freedom degree of the fixed point of the bracket in the direction of 1-6 by the established finite element model of the air cylinder according to actual conditions, respectively adding pressure excitation load vertical to the surface of the end cover and the inner surface of the cylinder along the normal direction of the unit, wherein the load is 40bar, and then carrying out finite element analysis and calculation to obtain a plastic deformation distribution cloud picture of the unloaded material. The calculated ratio of permanent deformation of the air cylinder along the circumferential direction and the axial direction is smaller than 0.5 percent, and is lower than the standard value, so that the requirement is met, and the next working condition d is carried out.
The working condition d, namely the durable working condition, does not consider the plasticity of materials, and the specific constraint and loading mode are the same as the above, the durable working condition of the air reservoir defined by the invention is a constant-amplitude durable working condition, the stress distribution of the air reservoir assembly under two internal pressures of 19bar and 4bar is respectively used as an upper limit value and a lower limit value to be led into FEMFAT software for durable analysis, the load cycle number is 20 ten thousand times, and the damage value <1 of the air reservoir assembly is calculated to meet the requirement.
