拓扑优化是广泛应用于解决工程挑战的结构设计方法。然而,基于敏感性的拓扑优化方法在处理强非线性问题时表现不佳。利用深度生成模型无敏感性与高容量的优势,数据驱动拓扑设计(DDTD)被视为有效解决方案。但当输入规模超过阈值时,深度生成模型的训练效率下降,而保持高自由度对准确表征复杂结构至关重要。为解决这一矛盾,本文提出基于主成分分析(PCA)的DDTD方法。其核心思想是通过PCA计算获得主成分得分矩阵,代替直接训练生成模型来学习材料分布,并通过重构过程生成具有新特征的材料分布。将该方法应用于最小化3D结构力学中的最大应力问题,实验证明其能有效应对现有DDTD难以处理3D结构设计的问题。多组实验验证了所提方法的有效性与实用性。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Topology optimization is a structural design methodology widely utilized to address engineering challenges. However, sensitivity-based topology optimization methods struggle to solve optimization problems characterized by strong non-linearity. Leveraging the sensitivity-free nature and high capacity of deep generative models, data-driven topology design (DDTD) methodology is considered an effective solution to this problem. Despite this, the training effectiveness of deep generative models diminishes when input size exceeds a threshold while maintaining high degrees of freedom is crucial for accurately characterizing complex structures. To resolve the conflict between the both, we propose DDTD based on principal component analysis (PCA). Its core idea is to replace the direct training of deep generative models with material distributions by using a principal component score matrix obtained from PCA computation and to obtain the generated material distributions with new features through the restoration process. We apply the proposed PCA-based DDTD to the problem of minimizing the maximum stress in 3D structural mechanics and demonstrate it can effectively address the current challenges faced by DDTD that fail to handle 3D structural design problems. Various experiments are conducted to demonstrate the effectiveness and practicability of the proposed PCA-based DDTD.
