Abstract

We present the topology optimization of an assembly consisting of a piezoelectric layer attached to a plate with support. The optimization domain is the piezoelectric layer. Using the SIMP (Solid Isotropic Material with Penalization) method with forced vibrations by harmonic electrical excitation, we achieve a maximization of the dynamic displacement. We show that the considered objective function can be used under certain boundary conditions to optimize the sound radiation. The vibrational patterns resulting from the optimization are analysed in comparison with the modes from an eigenvalue analysis. Multiple-frequency optimization is achieved by adaptive weighted sums. As a second optimization criterion, a flat frequency response is integrated in the optimization process.
