| contents | The maximum stress minimization problem is among the most important topics for structural design. The conventional gradient-based topology optimization methods require transforming the original problem into a pseudo-problem by relaxation techniques. Since their parameters significantly influence optimization, accurately solving the maximum stress minimization problem without using relaxation techniques is expected to achieve extreme performance. This paper focuses on this challenge and investigates whether designs with more avoided stress concentrations can be obtained by solving the original maximum stress minimization problem without relaxation techniques, compared to the solutions obtained by gradient-based topology optimization. We employ data-driven multifidelity topology design (MFTD), a gradient-free topology optimization based on evolutionary algorithms. The basic framework involves generating candidate solutions by solving a low-fidelity optimization problem, evaluating these solutions through high-fidelity forward analysis, and iteratively updating them using a deep generative model without sensitivity analysis. In this study, data-driven MFTD incorporates the optimized designs obtained by solving a gradient-based topology optimization problem with the p-norm stress measure in the initial solutions and solves the original maximum stress minimization problem based on a high-fidelity analysis with a body-fitted mesh. We demonstrate the effectiveness of our proposed approach through the benchmark of L-bracket. As a result of solving the original maximum stress minimization problem with data-driven MFTD, a volume reduction of up to 22.6% was achieved under the same maximum stress value, compared to the initial solution. |
