Multi-material continuum topology optimization with arbitrary volume and mass constraints

Journal Article Sanders, Emily D. ; Aguiló, Miguel A. ; Paulino, Glaucio H. - Computer Methods in Applied Mechanics and Engineering

In this work, a framework is presented for multi-material compliance minimization in the context of continuum based topology optimization. We adopt the common approach of finding an optimal shape by solving a series of explicit convex (linear) approximations to the volume constrained compliance minimization problem. The dual objective associated with the linearized subproblems is a separable function of the Lagrange multipliers and thus, the update of each design variable is dependent only on the Lagrange multiplier of its associated volume constraint. By tailoring the ZPR design variable update scheme to the continuum setting, each volume constraint is updated independently. Thismore »« less

PolyMat: an efficient Matlab code for multi-material topology optimization

Journal Article Sanders, Emily D. ; Pereira, Anderson ; Aguiló, Miguel A. ; ... - Structural and Multidisciplinary Optimization

We introduce a Matlab implementation of topology optimization for compliance minimization on unstructured polygonal finite element meshes that efficiently accommodates many materials and many volume constraints. Leveraging the modular structure of the educational code, PolyTop, we extend it to the multi-material version, PolyMat, with only a few modifications. First, a design variable for each candidate material is defined in each finite element. Next, we couple a Discrete Material Optimization interpolation with the existing penalization and introduce a new parameter such that we can employ continuation and smoothly transition from a convex problem without any penalization to a non-convex problem inmore »« less

Multi-objective, robust constraints enforced global topology optimizer for optical devices

Patent Fan, Jonathan ; Jiang, Jiaqi ; Chen, Mingkun

A method for optimization of photonic devices is disclosed. The method includes receiving a set of unconstrained latent variables; mapping the set of unconstrained latent variables to a constrained space to generate a constrained device; calculating the permittivity across each element of the constrained device; determining a permittivity-constrained width gradient based at least partially on the permittivity across each element; and optimizing the set of unconstrained latent variables by at least partially using the permittivity-constrained width gradient.

SU-F-T-347: An Absolute Dose-Volume Constraint Based Deterministic Optimization Framework for Multi-Co60 Source Focused Radiotherapy

Journal Article Liang, B ; Liu, B ; Li, Y ; ... - Medical Physics

Purpose: Treatment plan optimization in multi-Co60 source focused radiotherapy with multiple isocenters is challenging, because dose distribution is normalized to maximum dose during optimization and evaluation. The objective functions are traditionally defined based on relative dosimetric distribution. This study presents an alternative absolute dose-volume constraint (ADC) based deterministic optimization framework (ADC-DOF). Methods: The initial isocenters are placed on the eroded target surface. Collimator size is chosen based on the area of 2D contour on corresponding axial slice. The isocenter spacing is determined by adjacent collimator sizes. The weights are optimized by minimizing the deviation from ADCs using the steepest descentmore »« less
