Generation of structural systems based on topology optimization

Abstract

The scope of this research is to establish a holistic framework for the conceptual design phase of civil engineering structures in terms of Structural Topology Optimization (STO). In the literature, the application of STO in the field of Civil Engineering, is quite limited. Basic limitations existing works, are the difficulties on the representation of the optimized layouts and the fact that in most cases idealized structural conditions are considered. The confrontation of these two issues is the overarching aim of this PhD research. Manufacturing constraints are applied in continuum-based Topology Optimization (TO) in order to provide solutions for Civil Engineering applications. The proposed methodologies, guided the algorithm to create discrete structures, that consist of truss-like or predefined structural components. Highlight of these procedures is the automation of the optimized structures’ integration in a Computer-Aided Design (CAD) environment. For this purpose, image process ...
