Topology optimization of the load-carrying element under a concentrated load
Öz
Topology optimization (TO) is an important method for the conceptual design of the products. Traditional design methods generally depend on the knowledge and experience of the designer. In an optimization problem, the determination of the optimum design is a time consuming and challenging task, especially when the results are obtained by the trial and error method. Finite element based topology optimization methods have proven to be a robust algorithm in order to achieve the optimum geometries, and have been widely applied in computer aided design (CAD) software. In the study, initially, the static analysis of the load-carrying element has been carried out and the maximum von Mises stresses are obtained. Then, the topology optimization has been performed under the same operating and loading conditions. In the optimization process, minimum weight and maximum rigidity have been chosen as the design parameters, and then the load-carryi
