Abstract
In this paper, we propose a transformed tensor decomposition method for topology optimization. A transform is performed on the density variable to manipulate its range. The transformed variable is then decomposed as the sum of a number of modes, each in a variable-separated form. In this way, the number of design variables in discrete form and the optimization time used in each iteration are considerably reduced. Numerical tests are performed to illustrate the nice features of the proposed method with evidence for solving the problems of checkerboard and mesh-dependency.
期刊介绍:
The International Journal for Numerical Methods in Engineering publishes original papers describing significant, novel developments in numerical methods that are applicable to engineering problems.
The Journal is known for welcoming contributions in a wide range of areas in computational engineering, including computational issues in model reduction, uncertainty quantification, verification and validation, inverse analysis and stochastic methods, optimisation, element technology, solution techniques and parallel computing, damage and fracture, mechanics at micro and nano-scales, low-speed fluid dynamics, fluid-structure interaction, electromagnetics, coupled diffusion phenomena, and error estimation and mesh generation. It is emphasized that this is by no means an exhaustive list, and particularly papers on multi-scale, multi-physics or multi-disciplinary problems, and on new, emerging topics are welcome.
