Kywor: Toology otimization, ynamic comlianc, vibration lvl, loaing frquncy 3. Introuction Th mtho of toology otimization firt aar in th litratur in 988, an wa originally vlo for trmining th itribution of an latic matrial within an amiibl ign omain that ubjct to a givn tatic loaing yil th tifft oibl tructur for a rcrib amount of matrial, Bnø an Kikuchi [] an Bnø []. In comarion with uual izing an ha otimization, toology otimization imli mor ign from inc it allow nw hol an connction to b gnrat in th tructur an hrby ha th ciiv imact on th gain that can b achiv by otimization. Toology otimization i thrfor an imortant rrocing tool for izing an ha otimization ( Olhoff t al. [3]). During th lat ca, th mtho ha bn xtn to hanl vral othr ign objctiv an contraint. Toology otimization ha thrfor bcom a tanar tool for ynthi of art or whol tructur in th automotiv an aroac inutri, an it i raily raing into othr nginring ign icilin. Th rar i rfrr to th xhautiv txtbook by Bnø an Sigmun [4] an th rviw articl by Echnaur an Olhoff [5] for rcnt vlomnt an ublication. Lik th conct of comlianc in tatic tructural ign, ynamic comlianc i a ror global maur of th ynamic ron of a tructur. Problm of toology otimization with th objctiv of minimizing th ynamic comlianc (maximizing th ynamic tiffn) of tructur ubjct to tim-harmonic xtrnal loaing of givn frquncy an amlitu wr,.g., tui by Ma t al. [6] an Jog [7]. Toology ign ubjct to tranint xtrnal loaing wa tui by Min t al. [8], whr th ynamic comlianc i fin rlativ to a cifi tim intrval. A roblm that may ari in tructural toology otimization unr tim-harmonic ynamic loaing i that th tatic comlianc (corroning to th am loaing amlitu, but zro frquncy) may incra to a vry high lvl (.g. Tchrniak [9]) uring th roc whr th ynamic comlianc of th tructur i otimiz. In xtrm ca th tatic comlianc actually tn to infinity, which rflct that a iintgration of th tructur i bing crat uring th ign roc. Howvr, w hav foun that th ign objctiv of th ynamic roblm can b imlmnt along iffrnt otimization ath, an that it i oibl to avoi th roblm mntion abov by lction of th ror ath. Thu, in th rnt ar, an aroach i roo in which th tatic comlianc of th tructur i contrain or cra uring th roc of otimizing th ynamic rorti. An algorithm vlo for thi hanl th otimum ign roblm by a continuation tchniqu whr th loaing frquncy i quntially incra from a ufficintly low initial valu u to it rcrib valu. Numrical xaml ar rnt to montrat th valiity of th aroach. A an xtnion rlativ to traitional toology otimization, our tuy alo inclu ca whr th ynamic loaing i ign-nnt, i.., ca whr both th location an irction of th loaing chang a th tructural toology chang. Th mtho vlo by Hammr an Olhoff ([], []; alo Du an Olhoff [], [3]) ar mloy to hanl th ign roblm aociat with uch kin of loaing. At th n of th ar om illutrativ otimum toology rult ar rnt, both for ca of ign-innnt an ign-nnt loaing. 4. Formulation of toology ign roblm for minimization of ynamic comlianc Th roblm of otimizing th toology of a continuum tructur (without aming) for minimum valu of th intgral ynamic tructural comlianc can b formulat in a icrt form a follow:

2 min { C ρ = P T U } ( K ω M) U = P, N E = Subjct to: ρ V V < ρ ρ,, ( V = αv ), ( =, L, N Th ynamic comlianc i qual to th work on by th xtrnal ynamic forc againt corroning ilacmnt, an i roortional to th xrion givn for C in (), whr U not th ilacmnt amlitu vctor of th tay-tat, timharmonic vibration, an P not th loa magnitu vctor of th xtrnal loaing. Th harmonic xtrnal loaing vctor (t) with th iω givn xcitation frquncy ω can thn b xr a t iω t ( t) =P an th ilacmnt ron vctor a a ( t) = U. Th ymbol K an M rrnt th N imnional tructural tiffn an ma matric, whr N i th numbr of DOF. Th ymbol ρ i th volumtric matrial nity of lmnt an i th ign variabl in th roblm. Th ymbol α not th volum fraction of availabl matrial an i givn by V /V, whr V i th volum of th amiibl ign omain an V i th rcrib total volum of availabl matrial. Th ymbol N E rrnt th total numbr of finit lmnt. It i not that th ynamic tiffn K fin a K = K ω M may b ngativ finit whn th loaing frquncy ω ha a high valu,.g. highr than th funamntal ignfrquncy of th tructur. In thi ca, th rouct of th amlitu of th xtrnal loaing vctor an th ilacmnt vctor of th tructural ron may attain a ngativ valu, an in orr to inclu thi oibility in our roblm formulation, w u th abolut valu of th abov rouct a th ynamic comlianc fin in our roblm, Eq. (). Th firt quation lit in th contraint of roblm () i th ynamic tat quation an can b olv in a irct way by Gau limination or by uing a tchniqu of moal uroition. 4.. Th SIMP Matrial mol Th SIMP (Soli Iotroic Microtructur with Pnalty) introlation mol (,.g., Bnø []; Rozvany, t al. [4]; Bnø an Sigmun [5]) i u hr togthr with a filtring tchniqu (,.g., Sigmun [6]), in orr to avoi chckrboar formation an nncy of otimum toology olution on finit lmnt mh-rfinmnt. Thu, th finit lmnt laticity matrix E i xr in trm of th lmnt volumtric matrial nity ρ, ρ, an th nalization owr,, a E ( ρ ) = ρ E, () whr E i th laticity matrix of a corroning lmnt with th fully oli latic matrial th tructur i to b ma of. By analogy with (), for a vibrating tructur th finit lmnt ma matrix may b xr a q M ( ρ ) = ρ M, (3) whr M rrnt th lmnt ma matrix corroning to fully oli matrial, an th owr q. Aart from xction brifly icu in th following ction, normally q = i chon. Th global tiffn matrix K an ma matrix M for th finit lmnt ba tructural ron analy bhin th otimization can now b calculat by K = N E N E = = ). q ρ K, M = ρ M, (4) whr K i th tiffn matrix of a finit lmnt fully oli matrial, an N E not th total numbr of finit lmnt in th amiibl ign omain. 4.. Localiz vibration mo With valu aign to an q a tat abov, alication of th SIMP mol for roblm of toology otimization with rct to ynamic tructural ron for rcrib, low xcitation frqunci may la to th occurrnc of uriou, localiz vibration mo. Th localiz mo may occur in ub-rgion of th ign omain with low valu of th matrial nity (.g. ρ.), whr th ratio btwn th tiffn (with, ay, = 3 in th introlation formula) an th ma (with q = ) i vry mall. To liminat th uriou mo w hav t th ma vry low via a high valu of th nalization owr in ub-rgion with low matrial nity (Prn [7]; Tchrniak [9]). Thu, th introlation formula (3) for th finit lmnt ma matrix wa moifi a ρm, ( ρ >.) M ( ρ ) =, (5) r ρ M, ( ρ.) whr th nalization owr r i chon to b about r = 6, i.., much largr than th nalization owr for th tiffn, which i kt unchang at a valu about = Snitivity analyi Th nitivity of th objctiv function C in roblm () with rct to th ign variabl ρ i givn by T T T C = P T U = ign( P U) ( P U + P U ), (6) whr rim not artial rivativ with rct to ρ, an ign( ) i th ign function. Th nitivity P of th loa vctor will b ()

3 3 zro if it i ign-innnt, othrwi it can b hanl uing th mtho crib by Hammr an Olhoff ([], []), an alo by Du an Olhoff [], [3]. Th nitivity U of th ilacmnt vctor i givn by ( K ω M) U = f P ( K M ω ) U, (7) whr th nitiviti of th tiffn an ma matric can b irctly obtain from th SIMP matrial mol, i.. Eq. (4). Th vctor f i known a th uo loa an i fin by th trm on th right-han i of Eq. (7). Inta of olving Eq. (7), th ajoint mtho (.g. Tortorlli an Michalri [8]) may b u to calculat th nitivity of th objctiv function in a mor fficint mannr, which giv th following rult T T C ( P T U)(U P U ( K M = ign ω ) U). (8) Accoringly, th otimality conition for roblm () can b xr in th following form by man of th mtho of Lagrang multilir, T T T ign( P U)(U P U ( K ω M ) U) + ΛV =, (9) whr Λ i th Lagrang multilir corroning to th matrial volum contraint, an th i contraint for ρ hav bn ignor. Th otimization roblm () can b olv by uing th wll-known MMA mtho (Svanbrg [9]) or an otimality critrion mtho,.g. th fix oint mtho, a vi in Chng an Olhoff []. 5. Numrical xaml 5. Toology ign of a D inlt ubjct to hyroynamic rur loaing Thi xaml illutrat otimum toology ign of a ingl-matrial inlt for flui flow.

By comaring th otimum toologi in Fig. an 3 w fin om intrting fatur. Thu, whn th loaing frquncy i much lowr than th otimum funamntal ignfrquncy of th tructur, th rulting toology ( Fig. (c)) obtain by th ynamic ign of th rnt ar i imilar to th tatic ign that utain th amlitu of th loaing at zro frquncy, Fig., which imli that th ynamic ign i ominat by th atial itribution of th amlitu of th xtrnal loaing vctor. Howvr, if th loaing frquncy i clor to th valu of th otimum funamntal ignfrquncy of th tructur, th ign i ominat by th ynamic rquirmnt, an riv th funamntal ignfrquncy of th tructur a far away a oibl from th rcrib loaing frquncy. For an intrmiat valu of th loaing frquncy, th otimum toology of th inlt i a kin of comromi btwn th loaing amlitu ominat ign an th ignfrquncy ominat ign (cf. Fig. (b-) an Fig. 3). 5. Minimum ynamic comlianc ign of a lat-lik tructur Thi xaml concrn otimum toology ign of a lat-lik tructur with uort conition a hown in Fig. 4(a).
