Abstract:
      Stiffness and strength are main performance indicators of thin plate structures.In a transient heat transfer process,considering thermo-mechanical coupling,the temperature distribution is nonuniform and time variant,resulting in thermal deformations and thermal stresses in a structure.The variation of a temperature field depends on the thickness of the plate,and affects the stiffness and strength of a plate. Hence,the complex influence of the temperature field makes the optimization problem more nonlinear and more difficult to solve.In this paper,an envelope-criterion method is presented to deal with the structural optimization with such a complex temperature field.First,a structural compliance optimization design is carried out for external loads. Based on this design,by calculating multiple time index functions and taking the envelope,the above optimization results are modified iteratively to eliminate the higher local stress under transient temperature field.Some numerical examples are given and the results show that the method is effective for thin plate optimization in a transient heat transfer process.
