Abstract

The chapter delves into the advanced method of structural topology optimization using the Topology Optimization of Binary Structures (TOBS) method, which leverages integer linear programming to solve complex optimization problems. It focuses on minimizing compliance subject to both volume and natural frequency constraints, making it particularly relevant for industries where structural integrity and dynamic behavior are critical. The TOBS method is demonstrated through numerical examples, such as a biclamped beam and a tower subjected to transverse loads, showcasing its ability to efficiently handle multiple constraints and control natural frequencies. The use of the Modal Assurance Criterion (MAC) for mode-tracking ensures the accuracy of the optimization process, even in cases of mode crossing. The chapter highlights the versatility and robustness of the TOBS method in addressing practical engineering challenges, making it a valuable resource for professionals seeking to optimize structural designs under complex constraints.
