Research on Three-Dimensional Topology Optimization for the Bed of NC Gear Shaper

Abstract:

Taking minimum compliance of the bed of YKS5120B-3 NC gear shaper as the optimization objective, and the three-dimensional finite element relative density as design variables, the three-dimensional topology optimization mathematical model is established based on the interpolation method of solid isotropic material. The optimality criteria algorithm is used to update design variables. Topology optimization design of loaded bed is conducted and the optimal bed material distribution in the design domain is obtained. The new geometric model of the bed is reconstructed according to the optimal bed material distribution. Comparing the static analyses results of original model of the bed with reconstructed model of the bed, the correctness and the validity of the proposed method is verified.
