    Abstract: A structural non-gradient topology optimization method based on a sequential Kriging surrogate model mainly comprises three parts: reduced series expansion of a material field of design domain, building of a non-gradient topology optimization model and solving optimization model using a sequential Kriging surrogate model algorithm. Design variables of the topology optimization problem are considerably reduced through the series expansion of a material-field function, and then the topology optimization problem involving fewer than 50 design variables can be effectively solved using the sequential Kriging surrogate model algorithm with an adaptive design space adjustment strategy. Without requiring the information of design sensitivity of a performance function, this method is suitable for solving complex multi-physical, multidisciplinary and highly nonlinear topology optimization problems. It not only inherits the simple form of density-based topology optimization model, but also makes the final topology clear and smooth in structural boundary.

    Abstract: A method for fixture shape optimization design of a space membrane structure for inhibiting wrinkling, and solves the problem that the space membrane structure is easy to generate a wrinkling phenomenon under the stretching effect of a traditional fixture. By optimizing the shape of the fixture and changing the loading boundary conditions, the minor principal stress of the unit in the membrane region is maximized and the distribution of the principal stress of the membrane is regulated. A global optimization algorithm is used to find a global optimal design, and then novel fixture forms with “arch” and “convex” boundaries are obtained, to achieve the purpose of completely simulating the wrinkling. The present invention not only inhibits the generation of the wrinkling in the membrane, but also avoids cutting the membrane and ensures that the membrane has large enough working area.
