An improved topology optimization model is proposed for optimizing continuum structures with self-weight loading conditions. The objectives include minimizing the total strain energy of the design domain and minimizing the total displacement of the fixed domain. The model is validated under two-dimensional models and it is found that the optimal structural topology is affected by the ratio of external force to self-weight.
This work proposes an improved topology optimization model for optimizing continuum structures with self-weight loading conditions. A modified Solid Isotropic Material with Penalization (SIMP) model is proposed to avoid the parasitic effect. At the same time, the penalty factor of the SIMP model is increased to maintain the activeness of the prescribed volume constraint and to drive the design domain to binary distribution. The optimization objectives include minimizing the total strain energy of the design domain and minimizing the total displacement of the fixed domain. The shape optimization procedure is used to furtherly enhance structural performance. The whole optimization procedure is implemented with a two-dimensional model under the loading conditions of self-weight and external force. The classic MBB beam and self-weight arch are utilized to verify the proposed method, and conceptual layout designs of the steel structure bridge are conducted. It is proved that the proposed model is effective for topology optimization of continuum structures including self-weight. And it is found that the optimal structural topology is affected by the ratio of the external force to self-weight.
