Perturbation approaches to achieving diverse and competitive designs in topology optimisation
Utilising topology optimisation to generate diverse and competitive structures enables designers to create elegant and efficient designs according to their aesthetic intuition and functional needs. This study proposes load and support perturbation approaches based on the bi-directional evolutionary structural optimisation (BESO) method to achieve diverse designs. During the optimisation process, noise is introduced to the sensitivity calculations by randomly perturbing the load angles or material properties near the supports, leading to a variety of local optima. Numerical results demonstrate that the proposed approaches are capable of creating designs with similar stiffness but distinct geometries. In addition, the diversity of the obtained solutions can be controlled by utilising different perturbation functions. This work is of significant practical importance in both architecture and engineering, where multiple design options of high structural performance are in demand.
