Abstract Magnetoelectric seismometers can measure earthquake information and play an important role in earthquake monitoring. Aiming at the wider effective frequency bandwidth of magnetoelectric seismometers, a novel seismometer based on topology optimization structural pendulum is reported. The topology optimization of leaf spring structure in magnetoelectric seismometer is designed, the natural frequency and spurious frequency characteristics of the novel seismometer are analyzed. Based on variable density theory, the Solid Isotropic Material with Penalization (SIMP) model of the seismometer is established, and the Method of Moving Asymmetric (MMA) is adopted to obtain the optimal topology structure. The finite element analysis using ANSYS shows that novel seismometer after topology optimization structure is characteristic with lower natural frequency and higher spurious frequency than that of before optimization seismometer. The real vibration experimental results indicate that after topology optimization, the effective frequency bandwidth of seismometer is increased by 55.50%, improving from [1s, 51Hz] to [4s, 78Hz].

The virtual prototyping technology in corporation with a finite element analysis was first used to analyze the strength and stiffness of gearbox casing in an electric bus. On the basis of this analysis, the topology optimization technology (TOT) based on the variable density method was introduced into the design of gearbox casing which takes the minimized total flexibility of gearbox as the objective function, the density of each cell as the design variable and the volume as the design constraint. Then, according to the results of topology optimization and the requirements of manufacturing process, the structure of gearbox casing was designed in detail. Finally, the stress analysis of the housing model of the final design was carried out. The results show that the optimized housing not only meets the design requirements of stiffness and strength, but also reduces its quality, which can make the performance of gearbox achieve optimal.

The topology optimization design problem with multiple constraints for the complex vertical tail structure is studied in this paper. The variable density structural topology optimization method is improved by introducing a constraint factor. According to the different structural constraints and design requirements, variable factors and element pseudo density are initialized via finite element method. This method is controlled by the constraint factors, and the improved method combining with Rational Approximation of Material Properties (RAMP) density-stiffness interpolation model with optimality criteria methods (OC), the vertical tail’s stiffness optimization has been finished. The density-stiffness interpolation model, the mathematical model of variable density method with constraint factor, the structural optimization model, the solution model of the OC method, the design variables iterative format, are given in this paper and the algorithm with Matlab program is realized. Lastly, a sample vertical tail case is introduced to validate the feasibility of the algorithm by operating the results and analyzing the data.
