Selecting a Topology Optimization Method for Structural Joints Using Artificial Intelligence

In this study, the effectiveness of topological optimization methods for designing adhesive joints in multilayer structures was evaluated. Five types of joints were examined: vertical beam joints, variable cross-section beam joints, inclined joints, horizontal joints, and joints with local boundary conditions. A modified RAMP method, combined with the finite element method, was proposed for optimizing adhesive zones. A comparative study with the SIMP method, selected based on an analysis of existing scientific literature using artificial intelligence, was conducted.
