Abstract

En 中文
Composite materials and multi-material components often fail at their internal interfaces/adhesive joints, and hence special attention should be given to such catastrophic delamination events to guarantee the system's functional requirements. So far, however, the majority of structural topology optimization problems have focused on optimal distribution of the bulk materials by considering interfaces as perfectly bonded. This motivates the introduction of optimization methods that explicitly take into account the role of the material interfaces to optimize structures against delamination. In this work, we propose a data-driven heuristic optimization approach for the identification of optimal cohesive interfaces with linearly graded fracture properties to increase the ability of the composite structure to withstand peeling. Moreover, for given cohesive interface properties, we investigate the applicability of the physics-based Solid Isotropic Material with Penalty (SIMP) topology optimization approach to optimize the internal structure of a substrate in problems where the stress field is affected by interface delamination.
