基于拓扑优化的无人机机翼增材制造接头结构 轻量化设计

Topology optimization-based lightweight design for additively manufactured UAV wing joint structures

  • 摘要: 为实现大尺寸无人机机翼接头结构在轻量化、高强度与增材制造可行性之间的多目标协同优化,创新性地提出一种融合自支撑工艺约束的拓扑优化与静力学迭代协同设计方法. 基于选区激光熔化(SLM)技术特性,采用变密度法(SIMP)对Al-Mg-Sc-Zr高强铝合金接头壁板进行拓扑优化,首次引入悬挑角θ≥45°的工艺约束,以应力不超过180 MPa为强度目标、质量减少60%为轻量化约束,实现了结构性能与制造可行性的同步优化. 通过有限元分析验证,优化后接头质量降低13.78%,最大等效应力由183.25 MPa降至175.45 MPa(降幅4.4%),应力分布更趋合理;最大变形量0.079 mm仍满足0.1 mm的变形极限. 结果表明,通过结构-工艺协同设计,实现了轻量化与承载性能的同步提升,为无人机承力构件"设计-制造一体化"提供了创新方法与实践依据.

     

    Abstract: To achieve multi-objective synergistic optimization among lightweight characteristics, high strength, and additive manufacturing feasibility for large-scale unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) wing joint structures, this study innovatively proposes a collaborative design methodology integrating topology optimization with static iterative analysis under self-supporting process constraints. Leveraging the characteristics of selective laser melting (SLM) technology, topology optimization of the Al-Mg-Sc-Zr high-strength aluminum alloy joint wall panel was performed using the variable density method (SIMP). For the first time, a process constraint of an overhang angle ≥45° was introduced, with stress not exceeding 180 MPa as the strength objective and a 60% mass reduction as the lightweight constraint, thereby achieving simultaneous optimization of structural performance and manufacturability. Finite element analysis verification showed that the optimized joint's mass was reduced by 13.78%, the maximum equivalent stress decreased from 183.25 MPa to 175.45 MPa (a reduction of 4.4%) with a more rational stress distribution, and the maximum deformation of 0.079 mm remained within the allowable deformation limit of 0.1 mm. This method, through structure-process collaborative design, realizes the simultaneous improvement of lightweight performance and load-bearing capacity, providing an innovative approach and practical basis for the "design-manufacturing integration" of UAV load-bearing components.
