In this study, a novel approach is proposed to enhance the performance of the parts optimized by Solid Isotropic Material with Penalization (SIMP) method. SIMP is a topology optimization method that aims the optimum distribution of material in a design domain subjected to predefined loads, constraints and boundary conditions. The method forces every finite element composing the geometry to have a density of either 1 or 0. The main reason behind penalizing is that regions with intermediate densities are difficult to fabricate. However, including these regions in the optimization output may provide better performance results. Based on this idea, a method is proposed to utilize intermediate densities in a manufacturable form and is applied to 3D geometries. Besides, the remodeled topology is checked against any unconnected cells. In contrast to many methods, which delete the unconnected elements, the proposed method provides connectivity by adding cells. The outputs of the proposed method are fabricated by using Electron Beam Melting (EBM) and Stereolithography (SLA) technologies. EBM uses material powder and a heat source to melt and fuse the powders while SLA uses photosensitive resin and an ultraviolet light to cure the resin. A common limitation of both technologies is that powder/resin may remain inside the internal features which do not have access to outer surface of the part through the channels. The proposed method ensures the easy removal of excess powder/resin after fabrication. Performance of the method is compared with the SIMP method through test and analysis.

Tiling of cellular structures into the parts according to the density values of SIMP topology optimization Özkapıcı Helvacı, Damla; Yaman, Ulaş; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2020-9) In this thesis, a method is proposed to enhance the performance of the parts optimized by Solid Isotropic Material with Penalization (SIMP) method. SIMP is a density-based topology optimization method which basically aims to distribute the material through the part subjected to various loads, boundary conditions and constraints in the optimum way. Thus, the part satisfies an optimization goal without violating the predefined constraints. The most prominent feature of this method is that the densities of the...
Topology optimization of 2.5D parts using the SIMP method with a variable thickness approach Kandemir, Volkan; Doğan, Oğuz; Yaman, Ulaş (Elsevier BV; 2018-06-10) In this study, the Solid Isotropic Material with Penalization (SIMP) topology optimization method is employed on the artifacts via keeping the penalization factor as unity. When the penalization is not carried out, the finite elements of the artifact have intermediate material densities. These density values are then used as the thicknesses of the corresponding finite elements and conformal surfaces are formed utilizing these heights in the proposed method. We evaluated the performance of the method with th...

The aim is to achieve the lowest energy consumption and highest precision. With this aim, the current paper considers uncertain parameters, objective functions, and constraints in the offered mathematical model. We proposed several uncertain models and validated the results in real-world case studies. In addition, several artificial intelligence-based s...
