Topology Optimization of Heat Conductive Structure Using the Hybrid Celluar Automata Method

摘要

The topology optimization method of heat conductive structure using the hybrid cellular automata method is presented.The objective function is developed by the minimum heat dissipation to optimize thermal conduction efficiency of continuum structure.Topology optimization of heat conductive structure under volume constraint is performed.The optimization problem is solved using the hybrid cellular automata method.The local change in the design variable is determined by a local rule based on the proportional control law.The numerical example is presented to show the feasibility of the present approach.
