A generalized topology optimization formulation for design of meta-materials and structures for prescribed non-linear elastic behavior
摘要
By implementing an asymptotic homogenization method modified for finite deformations, this work presents a topology optimization(TO) formulation for the design of meta-materials with prescribed, non-linear elastic behaviors. The meta-material analysis and the TO problem are formulated such that meta-materials can be designed for any general deformation mode. Additional constraints for the TO formulations are proposed to address numerical issues. The TO formulation is used to design meta-materials for various target stress–strain curves under various uniform deformation load cases. The formulation is also used to design meta-material based structures under non-uniform deformation fields using a multi-scale FE
