This paper proposes a novel density-based concurrent topology optimization method to support the two-scale design of composite plates for vibration mitigation. To have exceptional damping performance, dynamic compliance of the composite plate is taken as the objective function. The complex stiffness model is used to describe the material damping and accurately consider the variation of structural response due to the change of damping composite material configurations. The mode superposition method is used to calculate the complex frequency response of the composite plates to reduce the heavy computational burden caused by a large number of sample points in the frequency range during each iteration. Both microstructural configurations and macroscopic distribution are optimized in an integrated manner. At the microscale, the damping layer consists of periodic composites with distinct damping and stiffness. The effective properties of the periodic composites are homogenized and then are fed into the complex frequency response analysis at the macroscale. To implement the concurrent topology optimization at two different scales, the design variables are assigned for both macro- and micro-scales. The adjoint sensitivity analysis is presented to compute the derivatives of dynamic compliance of composite plates with respect to the micro and macro design variables. Several numerical examples with different excitation inputs and boundary conditions are presented to confirm the validity of the proposed methodologies. This paper represents a first step towards designing two-scale composite plates with optional dynamic performance under harmonic loading using an inverse design method.

In recent years, many scholars have conducted in-depth and extensive research on the mechanical properties, preparation methods, and structural optimization of grid structural materials. In this paper, the structural characteristics of composite intelligent grid are studied by combining theoretical analysis with experiments. According to the existing conditions in the laboratory, the equilateral triangular grid structure experimental pieces were prepared. In this paper, principal component analysis combined with nearest neighbor method was used to detect the damage of composite plates. On this basis, the multiobjective robustness optimization of the structure is carried out based on artificial intelligence algorithm, which makes the structure quality and its sensitivity to uncertain parameters lower. Particle swarm optimization (PSO) is used in neural network training. The damage characteristics of different grid structures, different impact positions, and different impact energies were studied. The results show that the structural damage types, areas, and propagation characteristics are very different when the structure is impacted at different positions, which verifies that the grid structure has a good ability to limit the damage diffusion and shows that the grid structure has a good ability to resist damage.
