Topology Optimization of Wing Structure with Manufacturing Constraints

Abstract:

A methodology and a procedure for topology optimization of wing structure based on manufacturing constraints were proposed. By the methodology and procedure proposed, topology of thin-box wing structure which is easier manufactured than traditional topology result can be obtained. The manufacturing constraints of draw direction, member size control and inexcusable initial design were introduced into the optimal procedure and executed in Optistruct. Effect and efficiency were analyzed and compared with traditional topology optimization.
