Abstract

The additional printing degrees of freedom in multi-axis additive manufacturing (AM) based on the BC table machine facilitate control of the building direction (BD), the formation of complex curved surfaces, and the fabrication of rotary parts. This provides significant advantages in controlling material anisotropy and structural layouts. In topology optimization (TO), concurrent optimization of BD and topological layouts can fully take advantage of the process-induced anisotropy. However, most of the previous studies were limited to three-axis AM systems and failed to fully exploit the manufacturing potential of multi-axis AM machines. Therefore, this study develops a TO method tailored for multi-axis AM based on the BC table machine. Firstly, an innovative constitutive model is developed for printing rotary parts based on the BC table machine. This model describes the constitutive characteristics of anisotropic rotary parts formed by C-axis rotation after adjusting the print platform based on the B-axis to a non-horizontal plane, providing a theoretical foundation for material property interpolation and BD optimization. Secondly, the Tsai–Hill failure criterion for multi-axis AM of rotary parts is derived, which can predict the anisotropic strength distribution under different BDs. Next, a TO model is developed to concurrently optimize BD and topological layouts considering anisotropic strength and structural stiffness in multi-axis AM, and the sensitivities of the objective function and constraints are derived. Finally, optimization examples of hook supports and compressor disks are presented to validate the importance and effectiveness of BD optimization and anisotropic strength constraints, while an optimization example of turbine rear cooling plates demonstrates the method’s engineering applicability. The results show that this method can concurrently optimize the BD and structural layout of multi-axis AM of rotary parts, fully utilizing anisotropy in AM and improving overall structural performance.
考虑各向异性强度的旋转零件多轴增材制造制造方向与结构拓扑并行优化
基于BC工作台机的多轴增材制造(AM)的附加打印自由度,便于对成形方向(BD)的控制、复杂曲面的形成以及旋转零件的加工。这为控制材料各向异性和结构布局提供了显著的优势。在拓扑优化(TO)中,BD和拓扑布局的并行优化可以充分利用过程引起的各向异性。然而,以往的研究大多局限于三轴增材制造系统,未能充分挖掘多轴增材制造的制造潜力。因此,本研究开发了一种基于BC台式机床的适合多轴增材制造的TO方法。首先,建立了基于BC台式印刷机的旋转零件打印本构模型。该模型描述了基于b轴将打印平台调整到非水平面后,由c轴旋转形成的各向异性旋转部件的本构特性,为材料性能插补和BD优化提供了理论基础。其次,推导了旋转零件多轴增材制造的Tsai-Hill破坏准则,该准则可以预测不同bd下的各向异性强度分布;在此基础上,建立了考虑各向异性强度和结构刚度的多轴增材制造拓扑布局优化模型,并推导了目标函数和约束条件的灵敏度。最后,给出了吊钩支撑和压气机盘的优化算例,验证了BD优化和各向异性强度约束的重要性和有效性,并通过涡轮后冷却板的优化算例验证了该方法的工程适用性。结果表明,该方法可以同时优化旋转零件多轴增材制造的成形和结构布局,充分利用增材制造的各向异性,提高整体结构性能。
