Topology Optimization for Work Flat of Tower-Belt under Multi-Loading Cases

Abstract:

Taking minimum compliance of the whole structure as the objective, the mathematical optimization model of multi-loading cases topology optimization is constructed by using the weight compromise programming method to coordinate the multiple objective functions. The optimal topology of the work flat is obtained using Hyperworks/Optistruct software and geometric model is reconstructed. The static analysis of original and reconstructed structural models of the work flat show that the optimized structure can not only decrease the weight, but also improve the stiffness and reduce the stress. The work flat will be more safe and reliable than before.
