Response tailoring of elasto-plastic trusses
(2025) In Structural and Multidisciplinary Optimization 68(4).- Abstract
In this work we tailor the response of trusses loaded beyond their yield limit. The truss structures are modeled using finite strain theory and rate-independent elasto-plasticity. We design trusses with a tailored mechanical response that is between “elastic” and “elastic-ideal-plastic” subject to the volume constraint. The design updates are generated by the gradient-based Method of Moving Asymptotes (MMA) solver and the sensitivities of the response functions are computed using a path-dependent adjoint sensitivity analysis. The computations are performed in Matlab.
