Dynamic Structural Optimization with Frequency Constraints
Journal Title: International Journal of Modern Engineering Research (IJMER) - Year 2014, Vol 4, Issue 8
Abstract
The present work introduces a new method of structural optimization based on frequency constraints by using FEM in conjunction with Evolution optimization. First able as in any structure using this type of optimization the structure is meshed by very small element and the Eigen value (natural frequencies) of the whole structure is find. Then for each element removal the same eigenvalue analysis is done and a new natural frequency is calculated and assigned to an element removed. The sensitivity of structure to this removal of material for each element will be calculated. The question now what will do to control the natural frequency of the structure based on this removal of each element alone. The answer for this question and based upon the sensitivity value, all natural frequencies can be shift towards the required value, this include increasing or decreasing the frequency value and also increasing or decreasing the gap between any pair of natural frequencies.
