Michell Truss Durability Evaluation after Shape Optimization

Optimization


Fatigue optimization capabilities allow concept design synthesis (topology, topography, and free-size) and design fine-tuning (size, shape, and free-shape) based on fatigue performance.

Damage and life from either stress-life or strain-life fatigue analysis can be used as design criteria.

The effect of optimization process against durability evaluation is discussed, regarding Michell truss which is a typical
optimized structure.
