报告摘要 ：

In topology optimization of continuum structures, certain geometrical constraints and interface behaviors, as well as uncertain geometrical manufacturing imperfections, are often of great importance to ensure the manufacturability or integrity of the structures. This talk will present some of our recent developments on the study of manufacturing and interface-related topology optimization problems in the level set function-based framework. The level set, as an implicit geometrical model, offers a natural description of shape and topology evolution. We extend the level set model to geometrical modeling of multi-material and multi-component structures. We propose a unified integral-form constraint to avoid overlaps, to control the distances among the embedded objects. The constraint has an explicit form, facilitating their sensitivity analysis with respect to shape variations, and are applicable to the cases with many embedded components of arbitrary shapes. An integral-form casting constraint is also given to ensure the manufacturability of cast parts in topology optimization. Using the geometrical information extracted from the level set functions, the material interfaces are treated with the cohesive zone model. Thus possible separation of the interfaces can be well captured in the topology optimization. We also propose a level set-based implicit description model for modeling geometrical uncertainties, and material interfaces with certain spatial distribution characteristics. Such a model has been employed in robust topology optimization considering random manufacturing errors. Topology optimization problems for suppressing wrinkles of stretched membranes will also be addressed.
