Abstract  The boom structure is a key component of boom cranes, and the stability-ensured topology optimization is critical to its lightweight design. The sensitivity-based methods are not applicable for topology optimization of large-scale structures since they are labor-intensive and time-consuming. The quantitative indices of global stability and compression member stability for boom structures were defined. The anti-buckling mechanism of boom structures was analyzed to get the freezing order of associated web members. A novel SSKO (stability-ensured soft kill option) method was proposed, which was a topology optimization method for boom structures on the basis of the SKO (soft kill option) method for bars structures. This method was applied to topology optimization of a frame and a ring crane boom to demonstrate that it could achieve stable topologies with high efficiency.

几何非线性臂架结构稳定拓扑优化

臂架结构是臂架起重机的关键部件,实现结构稳定的拓扑优化对其轻量化设计至关重要. 基于敏度分析的结构优化方法耗时耗力,不适用于大型工程结构. 在杆系结构SKO (soft kill option) 法的基础上,定义了臂架结构整体稳定性和局部压杆稳定性的定量化指标,分析臂架结构抗失稳机制,给出了关联腹杆“冻结”顺序,提出了一种保证结构稳定的臂架结构拓扑优化方法,即SSKO (stability-ensured soft kill option) 法. 将该方法应用于刚架柱和环轨起重机组合臂架的拓扑优化中,结果表明SSKO法可实现结构的稳定拓扑,优化速度快,效果显著.
