Abstract
En 中文
A novel first-order equivalent static loads approach for optimization of structural dynamic response, F-ESL, is presented and compared with the basic equivalent static load formulation, ESL. F-ESL simplifies dynamic optimization problems by converting them into a series of static optimization sub-problems. The ESL algorithm in its original formulation does not have a guaranteed capability of reaching, or recognizing, final designs that satisfy the necessary first-order optimality conditions. F-ESL addresses this limitation by including first-order terms directly into the equivalent static load definition. This new mathematical information guides the optimization algorithm more effectively toward solutions that satisfy both feasibility and optimality conditions. Using reproducible numerical examples, we show that F-ESL overcomes the known limitations of the original ESL, often with a few outer function evaluations and fast convergence. At the same time, F-ESL maintains ESL simplicity, robustness, and ease of implementation, providing practitioners with an effective tool for structural dynamic optimization problems.
