Abstract: | Reliability-based topology optimization (RBTO) is used to obtain an optimal topology satisfying given constraints, as well
as to consider uncertainties in design variables. In this study, RBTO was applied to obtain an optimal topology for the inner
reinforcement of a vehicle’s hood based on bidirectional evolutionary structural optimization (BESO). A multi-objective topology
optimization technique was implemented to obtain the optimal topology for two models with different curvatures while simultaneously
considering the static stiffness of bending, torsion, and natural frequency. A performance measure approach (PMA) with probabilistic
constraints formulated in terms of the reliability index was employed to evaluate the probabilistic constraints. The optimal
topology obtained by RBTO was evaluated and compared to that obtained by deterministic topology optimization (DTO). A more
suitable topology was obtained through RBTO than DTO even though the final volume obtained by RBTO was generally slightly
greater than that obtained by DTO. The multiobjective optimization technique based on BESO can be applied very effectively
with topology optimization for a vehicle’s hood reinforcement. |
