- Abstract
- The creep phenomenon has enormous effect on the stress and displacement distribution in the structures. Redistribution of the stress field is one of these effects which is called stress relaxation. The importance of stress relaxation in the design of structures is increasing due to engineering applications especially in high temperature. However, this phenomenon has remained absent from the structural optimization studies. In the present study, the effect of stress relaxation due to high temperature creep is considered in topology optimization (TO). Internal element connectivity parameterization (I-ECP) method is utilized for performing TO. This method is shown to be effective to overcome numerical instabilities in nonlinear problems. Time-dependent adjoint sensitivity formulation is implemented for I-ECP including creep effect. Several benchmark problems are solved, and the optimum layouts obtained by linear and nonlinear methods are compared to show the efficiency of the proposed method and to show the effect of stress relaxation on the optimum layout.
