Developing Benchmark Problems for Civil Structural Applications of Continuum Topology Optimization
Publication: 20th Analysis and Computation Specialty Conference
Abstract
In this paper, consideration is given to candidate benchmark problems that utilize continuum topology optimization to find long-span structural forms that maximize stability. It is posited that by beginning the structural design process with forms of optimal stability as opposed to forms that are inherently unstable, one avoids getting locked into inferior designs that will be problematic at all stages. This issue is examined here by introducing some problems in which the goal is to obtain sparse lightweight structural forms that maximize critical buckling loads computed from linearized buckling analysis.
