Abstract:Frequency-aimed optimal structural design of stiffened shell is concerned. It is a reverse design problem for the first several modal frequencies to converge to a set of target value. A design method combined modified bi-directional evolutionary structural optimization (BESO) and size optimization is presented. Optimization model consists of skin and regular grid frame structure. To solve irregular branches and holes that often exist in ordinary topology optimization results, instead of elements, the existence states of ribs in the frame are used as design variables and sensitivity of the rib is discussed. Detailed design is conducted by size optimization. Example shows that frequency requirements are achieved. And the optimum structure is regular and clear, the localized modes problem is avoid. This is very suitable for designing airplane wind tunnel flutter test models.
