Malm¨o, June 2020 Niklas Ivarsson i Abstract Topology optimization is a mathematical tool forfinding optimal distributions of material phases within a design domain. It is commonly used in early design stages to generate conceptual structural layouts. Ultimately, designs generated by topology optimization consist of distinct material phases with enhanced performance. Most research on topology optimization methods focuses on linear elastic mechanical problems with the objective to maximize stiffness. Whereas linear problems are well understood, methods for solving geometrically and/or material non-linear, transient, path-dependent problems are less so. This thesis consists of a general introductory part and six appended papers in which topology optimization frameworks that account for non-linear response are presented. The introductory part gives an overview of topology optimization methods, motivates optimiz- ation for non-linear problems and details the specific solution methods for the non-linear, transient and path-dependent frameworks on which the included papers are based on. All papers but Paper E present non-linear optimization frameworks that employ hyper- elastic material models and are based onfinite strain theory. In Papers A and B, topology optimization methods for multiple material phases and for tangent stiffness maximization, respectively, are established. It is shown that an arbitrary number of phases can be in- cluded in the optimization and that the optimized distribution of the phases depends on the load magnitude. It is also shown that the definition of the stiffness measure used in topology optimization of non-linear elastic structures is of great importance. In Papers C, D and F, inelastic constitutive models are included in the optimization frameworks. Rate-dependent, i.e. viscous, inertial andfinite strain effects are combined with topology optimization to generate maximum energy absorbing structures. Both macroscopic struc- tures and microstructural designs are presented, wherein plastic work is optimized. It is shown that micro and macro response can be tailored for a specific load magnitude, loading rate and load path. The developed scheme in Paper F enables optimization of structures for maximum stiffness while constraining the maximum specific plastic work. Since signi- ficant plasticity occurs at design domain boundaries, a regularization technique for explicit control of boundary effects in topology optimization problems, presented in Paper E, is utilized. This optimization approach shows that by constraining the specific plastic work, stiff designs with smooth stress distributions are generated. iii Sammanfattning Matematiska optimeringsmetoder ¨ar kraftfulla verktyg f¨or effektiv design av lastb¨arande strukturer. Genom optimering kan en given m¨angd material omf¨ordelas f¨oratt f¨orb¨attra strukturers h˚allfasthet, exempelvis f¨or att uppn˚amaximal styvhet. Konventionella met- oder, d¨ar designf¨orslag iterativt utv¨arderas och f¨orb¨attras baserat p˚am¨ansklig intuition, ¨ar ofta ineffektiva och tidskr¨avande. F¨oratt f¨orkorta denna process och m¨ojligg¨ora optimal design kan topologioptimering anv¨andas. Topologioptimering l¨oser ett optimeringsprob- lem baserat p˚amatematiska beskrivningar av strukturens geometri. Beskrivningen till˚ater ¨andringar g¨allande strukturens form, tjocklek och sammankoppling av dess komponenter. L¨osningen till optimeringsproblemet ger konceptuella designer med maximerad ¨onskv¨ard egenskap, samtidigt som specifika villkor p˚adesignen, s˚asom begr¨ansad materialanv¨and- ning, uppfylls. Deflesta etablerade topologioptimeringsmetoder ¨arbaserade p˚ateori som endast g¨aller under begr¨ansade f¨orh˚allanden; antaganden om materialegenskaper och yttre lasters stor- lek och hastighet g¨ors f¨or att kunna etablera en f¨orenklad fysikalisk modell vilket medf¨or en f¨orenkling av det matematiska optimeringsproblemet. Dessa antaganden begr¨ansar dock anv¨andningsomr˚adena f¨or topologioptimering. Vid optimering av exempelvis krocks¨akra fordon, skyddsutrustning och st¨otd¨ampare kan lokalt stor och plastisk irreversibel deform- ation av materialet f¨orekomma. Dessutom sker deformationen ofta under ett v¨aldigt kort tidsspann. S˚aledesfinns det behov f¨or topologioptimeringsmetoder baserade p˚afysikaliska modeller som innefattar stora plastiska t¨ojningar samt irreversibla och transienta processer. S˚adana metoder har etablerats i denna avhandling. I avhandlingens f¨orsta del presenteras metoder som har utvecklats f¨or att maximera strukturers styvhet under olinj¨ar elastisk materialrespons och stora t¨ojningar. Modellerna m¨ojligg¨or design av strukturer uppbyggda avflera material och visar att den optimerade strukturen ¨ar starkt beroende av lastniv˚an. Definitionen av sj¨alva styvhetsm˚attet visas ¨aven vara avg¨orande f¨or den optimerade designen d˚aresponsen ¨ar olinj¨ar. I den senare delen av avhandlingen presenteras ett verktyg f¨or att optimera energi- absorption av designer b˚ade p˚amakroskopisk och mikroskopisk niv˚a, d¨ar irreversibla och transienta effekter inkluderas. Detta optimeringsverktyg genererar optimerade designer med markant h¨ogre energiabsorption i j¨amf¨orelse med metoder som antar sm˚at¨ojningar och l˚angsamma lasthastigheter. Slutligen presenteras en optimeringsmetod som m¨ojligg¨or maximering av strukturell styvhet samtidigt som generering av plastisk energi begr¨ansas. Optimeringsmetoden kan anv¨andas f¨or att undvika utmattning och skador p˚astrukturen. I anknytning till denna metod har ¨aven ett koncept utvecklats f¨or att kontrollera randeffekter i optimeringspro- cessen; detta f¨or att eliminera artifakter som annars kan uppkomma vid designdom¨anens yttre r¨ander och d¨armed p˚averka strukturens prestanda. v List of appended papers This doctoral thesis is based on the following manuscripts: Paper A Mathias Wallin, Niklas Ivarsson and Matti Ristinmaa Large strain phase-field based multi-material

  • Likely Striping in Stochastic Nematic Elastomers
    Likely striping in stochastic nematic elastomers L. Angela Mihai∗ Alain Gorielyy March 17, 2020 Abstract For monodomain nematic elastomers, we construct generalised elastic-nematic constitutive mod- els combining purely elastic and neoclassical-type strain-energy densities. Inspired by recent devel- opments in stochastic elasticity, we extend these models to stochastic-elastic-nematic forms where the model parameters are defined by spatially-independent probability density functions at a con- tinuum level. To investigate the behaviour of these systems and demonstrate the effects of the probabilistic parameters, we focus on the classical problem of shear striping in a stretched nematic elastomer for which the solution is given explicitly. We find that, unlike in the neoclassical case where the inhomogeneous deformation occurs within a universal interval that is independent of the elastic modulus, for the elastic-nematic models, the critical interval depends on the material parameters. For the stochastic extension, the bounds of this interval are probabilistic, and the homogeneous and inhomogeneous states compete in the sense that both have a a given probability to occur. We refer to the inhomogeneous pattern within this interval as `likely striping'. Key words: liquid crystal elastomers, solid mechanics, finite deformation, stochastic parameters, instabilities, probabilities. \Instead of stating the positions and velocities of all the molecules, we allow the possibility that these may vary for some reason - be it because we lack precise information, be it because we wish only some average in time or in space, be it because we are content to represent the result of averaging over many repetitions [...] We can then assign a probability to each quantity and calculate the values expected according to that probability." - C.

Tortorelli2 Received: 15 September 2019 / Revised: 20 February 2020 / Accepted: 21 February 2020 / Published online: 28 May 2020 © The Author(s) 2020 Abstract This paper presents a topology optimization framework for designing periodic viscoplastic microstructures under finite deformation. To demonstrate the framework, microstructures with tailored macroscopic mechanical properties, e.g., maximum viscoplastic energy absorption and prescribed zero contraction, are designed. The simulated macroscopic properties are obtained via homogenization wherein the unit cell constitutive model is based on finite strain isotropic hardening viscoplasticity. To solve the coupled equilibrium and constitutive equations, a nested Newton method is used together with an adaptive time-stepping scheme. A well-posed topology optimization problem is formulated by restriction using filtration which is implemented via a periodic version of the Helmholtz partial differential equation filter. The optimization problem is iteratively solved with the method of moving asymptotes, where the path-dependent sensitivities are derived using the adjoint method. The applicability of the framework is demonstrated by optimizing several two-dimensional continuum composites exposed to a wide range of macroscopic strains.

There are a number of interesting applications where modeling elastic and/or viscoelastic materials is fundamental, including uses in civil engineering, the food industry, land mine detection and ultrasonic imaging. Here we provide an overview of the subject for both elastic and viscoelastic materials in order to understand the behavior of these materials. We begin with a brief introduction of some basic terminology and relationships in continuum mechanics, and a review of equations of motion in a continuum in both Lagrangian and Eulerian forms. To complete the set of equations, we then proceed to present and discuss a number of specific forms for the constitutive relationships between stress and strain pro- posed in the literature for both elastic and viscoelastic materials. In addition, we discuss some applications for these constitutive equations. Finally, we give a com- putational example describing the motion of soil experiencing dynamic loading by incorporating a specific form of constitutive equation into the equation of motion.

  • A Finite Element Method Model for Large Strains Analysis of Timber a Finite Element Method Model for Large Strains Analysis of Timber Vincenzo De Luca
    Chapter 3 Provisional chapter A Finite Element Method Model for Large Strains Analysis of Timber A Finite Element Method Model for Large Strains Analysis of Timber Vincenzo De Luca AdditionalVincenzo information De Luca is available at the end of the chapter Additional information is available at the end of the chapter http://dx.doi.org/10.5772/67184 Abstract In this report a Finite Element Method (FEM) model, within the continuum mechanics of solids, for mechanical long term response of timber structures is presented. The pro- posed model can analyze three-dimensional solids, within the theory for non-linear material orthotropic elastic-viscous-plastic. It can account ductile behaviour in compres- sion and brittle behaviour in tension, under the kinematics hypothesis of large displace- ments and large strains. The work has been carried out with a general purpose FEM software code in which a specific stress-strain law for wood, by a proper subroutine, has been built in. The constitutive equations have been formulated by a multi-surface yield approach of viscoplasticity, each yield surface acts separately each other. This approach is specifically almost necessary for some problems, such as glued composite parts or steel bolt connections. Specialized solution algorithms, which adopt time-stepping and automating relaxation techniques, have been used to handle the behaviour of the load- ing path response for elastic-viscous-plastic or elastic-brittle behaviours. The model has been applied to examples to test the effectiveness of the suggested approach. The results obtained have shown the potentiality of the proposed model to effectively simulate the overall mechanical behaviour of timber.

    DEVELOPMENT OF A PROCEDURE FOR EXPERIMENTAL MEASUREMENT OF SHEAR ENERGY INTENSITY IN TIRE CONTACT PATCH by Piyush Mohan Gulve A thesis submitted to the faculty of The University of North Carolina at Charlotte in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Mechanical Engineering Charlotte 2017 Approved by: ______________________________ Dr. Peter Tkacik ______________________________ Dr. Russel Keanini ______________________________ Dr. Saiful Bari © 2017 Piyush Mohan Gulve ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT PIYUSH GULVE. Development of A Procedure For Experimental Measurement Of Shear Energy Intensity In Tire Contact Patch. Under the direction of Dr. PETER TKACIK. Energy dissipated in the contact patch of a rolling tire is related to material abrasion and tire wear. In this study, we calculate the shear energy intensity as the product of the sliding distance and the shear stresses as measured in the tread block sliding deformations and normal load distribution at contact patch for a collection of low profile tires. The objective of the study is to develop a procedure to find pressure distribution in contact patch, tread displacement during rolling and shear energy intensity on low profile tire footprint. Studying shear energy intensity in contact patch of rolling tire will help in better understanding of tire wear. Shear energy is product of shear stresses and displacement. A new experimental optical method based on Total Internal Reflection was developed to get displacements in a contact patch of a tire. Another new experimental optical method based on Frustrated Total Internal Reflection was developed to get normal stresses in a contact patch of a tire.

  • Level Set Shape and Topology Optimization of Finite Strain
    Level set shape and topology optimization of finite strain bilateral contact problems Matthew Lawry, and Kurt Maute Department of Aerospace Engineering, University of Colorado Boulder, Boulder, CO 80309-0429, USA September 04, 2016 Abstract This paper presents a method for the optimization of multi-component structures comprised of two and three materials considering large motion sliding contact and separation along interfaces. The structural geometry is defined by an explicit level set method, which allows for both shape and topology changes. The mechanical model assumes finite strains, a nonlinear elastic material behavior, and a quasi-static response. Identification of overlapping surface position is handled by a coupled parametric representation of contact surfaces. A stabilized Lagrange method and an active set strategy are used to model frictionless contact and separation. The mechanical model is discretized by the extended finite element method which maintains a clear definition of geometry. Face-oriented ghost penalization and dynamic relaxation are implemented to improve the stability of the physical response prediction. A nonlinear programming scheme is used to solve the optimization problem, which is regularized by introducing a perimeter penalty into the objective function. Sensitivities are determined by the adjoint method. The main characteristics of the proposed method are studied by numerical examples in two dimensions. The numerical results demonstrate improved design performance when compared to models optimized with a small strain assumption. Additionally, examples with load path dependent objectives display non-intuitive designs. 1 Introduction Sliding contact phenomena between deformable structures play a crucial role in the functionality of many mechanical systems in commercial and industrial applications.

The equation of state (EOS) of a solid (pressure–volume relation) plays an important role in condensed matter physics, because the knowledge of the EOS is of central importance for the general understanding of the behaviour and the application of condensed matters and has been a long-standing topic and extensively investigated Metallic amorphous alloys (i.e. metallic glasses) are comparatively newcomers to the amorphous materials group. Finite-strain theory has been applied extensively to problems in mineral physics. In the present work, pressure of two different bulk metallic glasses viz. Window glass and Water-white glass, has been computed at different compression ranges using three different EOS based on finite strain theory viz. Third order Eulerian EOS, Third order Lagrangian EOS and Third order Birch-Murnaghan EOS. The obtained results are compared with available experimental data to test the validity and success of these equation of states.
