Topology Optimization for Constrained Layer Damping Plates Using Evolutionary Structural Optimization Method

Article Preview

Abstract:

The evolutionary structural optimization (ESO) is used to optimize constrained damping layer structure. Considering the vibration and energy dissipation mode of the plate with constrained layer damping treatment, the elements of constrained damping layers and modal loss factor are considered as design variable and objective function, while damping material consumption is considered as a constraint. The sensitivity of modal loss factor to design variable is further derived using modal strain energy analysis method. Numerical example is used to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed topology optimization approach. The results show that vibration energy dissipation of the plates can be enhanced by the optimal constrained layer damping layout.
