A Comparative Study between Orthotropic and Isotropic Material Structures through Topology Optimization

Abstract

A lot of work has been done on topology optimization of linearly elastic isotropic structures but the field of topology optimization of orthotropic materials is still untouched. Present work gives an insight into the topology optimization of linearly elastic orthotropic materials. Topology optimization is carried out by Optimality Criteria Method applied through ANSYS. Three rectangular design domains under plane state of stress are considered. Topologically optimized shape, compliance, maximum x and y direction stresses, maximum shear and von Mises stresses and maximum deflection obtained for orthotropic material are compared with that of isotropic material. Orthotropic material taken is Carbon fibre IM7 and isotropic material is Steel.
