Abstract

Any mechanical performance measure of a structure is
strongly related with its topology. Size and shape optimization cannot give the
best structural performance, since these methods cannot change the
structure’s topology. Hence, topology optimization should be employed to obtain
the best performance. In this paper, a review of topology optimization is
provided. At first, the general topology optimization problem is defined. Then,
modern topology optimization methods are presented and discussed. 

Keywords

topology optimization, structural optimization, optimum structural design, review

AN OVERVIEW ON TOPOLOGY OPTIMIZATION METHODS EMPLOYED IN STRUCTURAL ENGINEERING

Abstract

Bir yapının gösterdiği mekanik performans, o
yapının topolojisi ile çok yakından alakalıdır. Boyut ve şekil eniyilemeleri
sonucunda, yapının topolojisinde bir değişiklik olmadığı için, en iyi
performans elde edilemez. Netice itibariyle, en iyi performansın elde
edilebilmesi için topoloji eniyilemesinden faydalanılması gerekmektedir. Bu
çalışmada, topoloji eniyilemesi yöntemleri hakkında bir derleme sunulmuştur.
İlk olarak, genel topolji eniyilemesi problemi tanıtılmış, ardından modern
topoloji eniyilemesi yöntemleri tartışılmıştır.

Keywords

topoloji eniyilemesi, yapısal eniyileme, eniyilenmiş tasarım, derleme
