Research on Relationship between Weight Filter Function and Stiffness Filter Function

Article Preview

Abstract:

Combined with the homogenization method and the least squares method, the filter function with the form of power function is studied in the Independent Continuum Map (ICM) method. Then, the numerical simulation method is used to study the relationship between a weight filter function and a stiffness filter function. Finally, the impact of the filtration function on the efficiency of topology optimization is showed by examples. It is important to further research structural topology optimization.
