A novel approach for the consideration of plastic material behavior in thermodynamic topology optimization

Abstract: In order to find optimal structures for realistic applications, it is essential to include the real material behavior in the optimization process. For this purpose, this research focuses on thermodynamic topology optimization accounting for plasticity for which a surrogate material model is developed. Characteristically, the stress/strain diagram resulting from physical loading and unloading shows a hysteresis for classical plasticity models. Our material model takes only the physical loading during the optimization process into account. To this end, during a virtual unloading in the optimization process, the dissipation of energy is suppressed which yields the same elasto/plastic deformation state as for physical loading. By using this novel material model, optimized structures can be computed without resourceful classical path‐dependent plasticity computation.
