Abstract:The numerical method of design optimization for structural thermally induced vibration is originally studied in this paper and implemented in, the software JIFEX The direct and adjoint methods of sensitivity analysis for thermal-induced vibration coupled with both linear and non-linear transient heat conduction is firstly proposed. Based on the finite element method, the linear structural dynamics is treated simultaneously with linear and non-linear transient heat conduction. In the heat conduction, the non-linear factors include the radiation and temperature-dependent materials. The sensitivity analysis of transient linear and non-linear heat conduction is performed with the precise time integration method; and then, the sensitivity analysis of structural transient responses is performed by the Newmark method. Both the direct method and the adjoint method are employed to derive the sensitivity equations of thermal vibration. In the adjoint method, two adjoint vectors of structure and of heat conduction are used to derive the adjoint equations. The coupling effect of heat conduction on thermal vibration in the sensitivity analysis is particularly investigated. With the coupling sensitivity analysis, the optimization model is constructed and solved by the sequential linear programming or sequential quadratic programming algorithm. Numerical examples are given to validate the proposed methods and to demonstrate the importance of the coupled design optimization. Copyright (C) 2003 John Wiley Sons, Ltd.
