  • Topology optimization is a standard method for the targeted generation of an initial design proposal for components. The method is used in particular in the early phase of product development. Commercially available optimization tools have so far only offered the possibility of performing single-material optimization. In the context of lightweight construction, it has been shown that multi-material structures offer enormous potential that cannot be exploited with single-material topology optimization. However, density-based approaches for multi-material topology optimization do exist in research.



    Task:

    • Familiarization with manufacturing boundary conditions in structural optimization.
    • Literature research for topology optimization
    • Comparison and evaluation of different approaches
    • Implementation of single approaches
    • Evaluation and verification


    Profile:

    • You are a student of mechanical engineering/mechatronics
    • You are interested in product development, lightweight construction and topology optimization
    • You have basic knowledge of programming (desirable)
