Abstract: The paper is concerned with topology optimization in the mechanical design process. The disadvantage of current process of mechanical design is discussed and a new design process based on structural topology optimization is presented. The design process with structural topology optimization in mechanical design is discussed by the example of the frame of a bender. Static analysis is made to the original model first according to the whole structure and working characteristic of the machine, the stress and deformation distribution are obtained and then topology optimization is carried out. On the basis of topology optimization, the layout of the initial design proposal is obtained and the weight of the frame is substantially reduced while the performance enhanced. The application of the method demonstrates that through innovative utilization of the topology optimization techniques, the conceptual proposals can be obtained and the overall mechanical design process can be improved substantially in a cost effective manner.

Abstract: Electrochemical machining is a process combined with electrochemical and mechanical actions. It has the advantage of higher efficiency, lower surface roughness, better quality and simpler equipment etc. According to the current development, topology optimization was introduced for the improvement of electrochemical machine tool and applied by the ANSYS software in this paper. Based on the result of the topology optimization, some improvement was done to the electrochemical machine tool. On the basis of the new FE model of the improved machine tool, the modal analysis and static analysis were carried out. By the comparison of the results between the former and latter, the weight of the machine tool is substantially reduced while the stiffness and strength reserved.

Abstract: Structural topology optimization has got a general acceptance in recent years in mechanical design due to its powerful technique for conceptual design. The shortcoming of current development process of mechanical design is discussed and a new approach with structural topology optimization is put forward. The application of the method demonstrates that through innovative utilization of the topology optimization techniques, a multitude of conceptual design proposals based on the design space and design targets can be obtained and then a CAD model with high quality which has a positive impact on the development process is also available.
