Load Carrying

The structure and the load-carrying capability of the front board of injection molding machine are more complex. The error of the approximation algorithm employed in engineering is larger so that the board may become invalid in the process of using, The finite element analysis can obtain the stress distribution in the parts so as to improve the accuracy of calculation and the quality of design; through The topology optimization analysis will take the initiative to find the optimal plan, which provides the theoretical basis for the improvement of the load-carrying capability and the structure design of board. This paper have conducted a parametric design, finite element analysis and the topology optimization design for a motional board of the injection molding machine using “Advanced simulation” of NX8.0, and get a quantitative conclusion of that the motional board volume is reduced and its stiffness is significantly enhanced.

Element Method

The node-based smoothed finite element method (NS-FEM) proposed recently has shown very good properties in solid mechanics, such as providing much better gradient solutions. In this paper, the topology optimization design of the continuum structures under static load is formulated on the basis of NS-FEM. As the node-based smoothing domain is the sub-unit of assembling stiffness matrix in the NS-FEM, the relative density of node-based smoothing domains serves as design variables. In this formulation, the compliance minimization is considered as an objective function, and the topology optimization model is developed using the solid isotropic material with penalization (SIMP) interpolation scheme. The topology optimization problem is then solved by the optimality criteria (OC) method. Finally, the feasibility and efficiency of the proposed method are illustrated with both 2D and 3D examples that are widely used in the topology optimization design.

Abstract The Topology Optimization design invariably shall be used in various applications like Aerojet designs, Aircraft Engineering designs and innovative systems for improving the efficiency of structure. The paper emphasizes more on general Topology Optimization design for a rectangular domain. The domain numerically analyzed with defined geometry setting and defined boundary conditions for finding the Stress and displacement. In this Topology Optimization Design synthesis, the result is suitable volume and mass reduction in the Aerojet application parts which further can be taken for Prototype development in 3D printing and experimentally test with safety characteristics and compares Objective functions chosen for design and development. The design can be used for other various automotive and aerospace devices based on deformation level and application of external forces. The Final destination of this design and development ends with passing Fatigue Endurance test cycle test pass condition in Aerojet and automotive vehicles in static and dynamic state.
