A Constructive Analysis on Topology Optimization of Structural Beam Element Using Different Support Condition

Abstract

Abstract. Topology Optimization (TO) is the method used for maximizing the performance of the system by optimizing material arrangement inside an appropriate topology design operation, for an appropriate set of loads, boundary restraints, and constraints. This helps in the reduction of the materials which in turn reduces the cost of materials. In the current scenario, the price of the ingredients of the traditional concrete is very high. The implementation of TO gives a good impact on the economy of construction, as the materials are optimally placed in the plane of load distribution as per various loading condition. The Evolutionary Structural optimization (ESO) is used for topology optimization. The main merits of implementing topology optimization are that the cost, as well as the weight of the structural member, becomes more effective. Customarily MATLAB software is used for analysis and designing the member. This method will highly useful for the society and the environment.
