    APPLICATION OF TOPOLOGICAL OPTIMIZATION TECHNIQUES TO STRUCTURAL CRASHWORTHINESS (1996)

    Notes: The topological optimization of components to maximize crash energy absorption for a given volume is considered. The crash analysis is performed using a DYNA3D finite element analysis. The original solid elements are replaced by ones with holes, the hole size being characterized by a so-called density (measure of the reduced volume). A homogenization method is used to find elastic moduli as a function of this density. Simpler approximations were developed to find plastic moduli and yield stress as functions of density.Optimality criteria were derived from an optimization statement using densities as the design variables. A resizing algorithm was constructed so that the optimality criteria are approximately satisfied. A novel feature is the introduction of an objective function based on strain energies weighted at specified times. Each different choice of weighting factors leads to a different structure, allowing a range of design possibilities to be explored.The method was applied to an automotive body rear rail. The original design and a new design of equal volume with holes were compared for energy absorption.

    Rapid expansion of a cylindrical cavity in a rate-type soil (1984)
    New York, NY [u.a.] : Wiley-Blackwell

    Notes: An analytical solution for rapid (undrained) expansion of a long cylindrical cavity from initially zero radius is presented. A simple rate-type soil model possessing the salient features of the modified Cambridge critical state model is used. Application of the solution to determination of the stress field surrounding a pile immediately after driving is discussed.
