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 the conventional SIMP method, having penalization factors larger than one, in terms of numerical analysis and experiments. The results revealed that the proposed approach outperforms the classical SIMP method. (C) 2018 The Authors. Published by Elsevier B.V.

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...
Tuning the Center of Gravity of 3D Printed Artifacts
KELEŞ, Mert; Yaman, Ulaş (Elsevier BV; 2018-06-14)
In this study, we propose an Algorithms-Aided Design (AAD) approach to shift the center of gravity of 3D printed artifacts to a predefined location by creating a heterogeneous internal structure utilizing the same type of material. When the conventional design and fabrication pipeline of 3D printers and additive manufacturing machinery is employed, information about the interior of the artifacts is lost during the conversion of the design files to the STL file format. This de facto file standard only stores...
Layout optimization of trusses using simulated annealing
Hasançebi, Oğuzhan (2000-09-08)
This paper addresses to the development of a simulated annealing (SA) based solution algorithm which is automated to achieve the simultaneous optimum design of truss type structures with respect to size, shape and topology design variables. The proposed algorithm is designed in such a way that together with applicability to practical design problems, it is also aimed at producing efficient and improved design solutions for the problems of interest. From the practicality point of view, the task is chosen as ...
Optimization of Power Conversion Efficiency in Threshold Self-Compensated UHF Rectifiers With Charge Conservation Principle
Gharehbaghi, Kaveh; KOÇER, FATİH; Külah, Haluk (2017-09-01)
This paper presents a compact model for threshold self-compensated rectifiers that can be used to optimize circuit parameters early in the design phase instead of time-consuming transient simulations. A design procedure is presented for finding the optimum aspect ratio of transistors used in the converter and number of rectifying stages to achieve the maximum power conversion efficiency. In the presented analysis, the relation between the power conversion efficiency and the load current over the variation o...
Harmony search algorithms in structural engineering
Saka, M.P.; Aydogdu, I.; Hasançebi, Oğuzhan; Geem, Z.W. (2011-08-08)
Harmony search method is widely applied in structural design optimization since its emergence. These applications have shown that harmony search algorithm is robust, effective and reliable optimization method. Within recent years several enhancements are suggested to improve the performance of the algorithm. Among these Mandavi has presented two versions of harmony search methods. He named these as improved harmony search method and global best harmony search method. Saka and Hasancebi (2009) have suggested...
