Abstract
With the tremendous development of additive manufacturing technology in recent years, porous infill structures with well-designed topology configurations have been widely used in various physical fields. The porous infill structure may be prone to thermo-mechanical buckling failure under certain extreme thermal conditions due to temperature gradient effects and delicate local details of the porous infill structure.Therefore, a topological optimization design method, which considers the influence of the thermo-solid coupling field on the buckling performance of the porous infill structure, is proposed by using the projection approach merged with the Solid Isotropic Material with Penalization (SIMP) method. Critical buckling load factors obtained with thermal-elastic equilibrium and linear buckling analysis are employed to measure the buckling performance of the structure. Numerical examples show that the proposed method can effectively improve the buckling performance of the porous infill structure under the thermo-mechanical environment.
