Abstract By analyzing the results of compliance minimization of thermoelastic structures, we observed that microstructures play an important role in this optimization problem. Then, we propose to use a multiple variable cutting (M–VCUT) level set-based model of microstructures to solve the concurrent two–scale topology optimization of thermoelastic structures. A microstructure is obtained by combining multiple virtual microstructures that are derived respectively from multiple microstructure prototypes, thus giving more diversity of microstructure and more flexibility in design optimization. The effective mechanical properties of microstructures are computed in an off-line phase by using the homogenization method, and then More >
