Abstract

This article discusses mainly about topology optimization design methods for airborne conformal antenna structure. The basic contents of topology optimization are introduced and the optimization simulation model is established. The topology optimization of the antenna structure is carried out with the given mass percentage as the constraint and the goal of maximizing the fundamental frequency. The optimization results obtained by using solid element and shell element are compared. With that, taking the given fundamental frequency and maximum fatigue stress as constraints, the preliminary optimized structure size of the antenna is further optimized. Comparison with the original antenna structure, it is shown that the optimization design of structure can satisfy the stiffness requirements by increasing the fundamental frequency of overall structure with the lightweight design.
