Adjoint Method for Topological Derivatives for Optimization Tasks with Material and Geometrical Nonlinearities

Abstract

In this paper the Topological Derivative for crash loaded structures is derived with the adjoint sensitivity analysis. The main idea of the adjoint sensitivity analysis is to circumvent the direct calculation of the sensitivity of the displacement field. Instead, the adjoint equilibrium equation has to be solved. In this approach, material derivation and partial integration in the time domain are applied to the Topological Derivative. This ensures, that the inertial effects are kept, as they are important for a reliable crash simulation. The result is a backward integration scheme for the adjoint state.

With implicit time integration, a numerical scheme to solve the primal and the adjoint problem is demonstrated. The specific adjoint equation as well as the Topological Derivative for a displacement functional and the internal energy are presented.
