Abstract

The supporting plate of winch drum spindle is one of the core components of the whole winch. Good performance of the supporting plate of winch drum is of the great importance to ensure normal operation. In this paper, using of multi-objective topology optimization method for conceptual design of the supporting plate of winch drum spindle, in which both the compliance and eigenfrequency are regarded as static and dynamic optimization objectives, respectively. During the conceptual design of the supporting plate of winch drum spindle with multiple loadings, the compromising programming method are used to settle the associated difficulties with the whole structure of the supporting plate of winch drum spindle. The main advantage of the compromising programming method is the flexibility of dealing with optimal topology designs for the whole structures of the supporting plate of winch drum spindle with complicated loading cases. Solid isotropic material with penalization (SIMP) is a commonly used method in topology optimization. SIMP is used as the interpolation scheme to indicate the dependence of material modulus upon regularized elements densities. An engineering application is used to demonstrate the characteristics of the presented methodologies based on the commercial software of OptiStruct.
