GRADUATE THESIS

Aug '2012 - May '2013

Topology Optimization of Compliant Mechanisms without Uncertainty

. Designed a new discretization model for optimizing the topologies

of compliant mechanisms by introducing the genus based topology

optimization strategy.

. With this strategy, the genus of an optimized compliant mechanism

is actively controlled during its topology optimization process.

. The Initial design domain was discretized into finite elements

using MATLAB Code.

. Material, Boundary and Load Conditions were assigned to the model

using MATLAB Library.

. Genetic Algorithm based optimization, using MATLAB Optimization

toolbox, is used for Topology Optimization of the Design Domain.

. The Finite Element Analysis of the optimized Topology was done

using MATLAB and the results are validated against those obtained

from NASTRAN.
