Experimental Validation of Topology Design Optimization

From the numerical results of density-based topology design optimization, a CAD geometric model is constructed and fabricated using 3D printer to experimentally validate the optimal design. In the process of topology design optimization, we often experience checkerboard phenomenon and complicated branches, which could result in the manufacturing difficulty of the obtained optimal design. Sensitivity filtering and morphology methods are used to resolve the aforementioned issues. Identical volume fraction is used in both numerical and experimental models for precise validation. Through the experimental comparison of stiffness in various designs including the optimal design, it turns out that the optimal design has the highest stiffness and the experimental result of compliance matches very well with the numerical one.
