The Affection of Fasteners Load Constraint in Topology Optimization

Abstract:

The paper is to present the method of topology optimization with multi fasteners shear constraint. The further studies on analyzing the influence of different shear load constraint on the optimized structure shows that the constraint of shear load has great influence on the structural configuration. When the constraint is low, the load concentration is reduced while the configuration with delicate truss is lack of manufacturability.
