摘要
En 中文
Thin-walled shell structures are widely used in aeronautical and aerospace engineering. This paper develops an effective B-spline parameterization method for stiffener layout optimization of shell structures. Height variables are defined by B-spline control parameters to characterize the stiffener layout reinforcing the shell structure. A continuous height field is subsequently generated via B-spline and basis functions. In view of possible curvatures of shell structures, the height field is projected from parametric space onto the shell structure by means of the parametric mapping. In this work, the finite element method is adopted with the solid-shell coupling method used for structural analysis. Pseudo-densities associated with solid elements are determined based on the B-spline parameterization and Heaviside function. Several numerical examples are dealt with to demonstrate the proposed method. Compared with the standard density-based method, the proposed method produces checkerboard-free design results with a clear layout and naturally avoids overhang stiffeners.
