To adjust the functional characteristics of cellular structures via cellular configurations
a topology optimization design method of graded cellular structures(GCS)with implicit surfaces is proposed. A penalty function is introduced to the implicit level set function of the triply periodic minimal surface(TPMS)for ensuring the continuity of TPMS under low volume fraction. The punished functions are weighted to construct a hybrid level set function to realize the hybrid parametric modeling of cellular structures. The macroscopic equivalent elastic characteristics of the cellular structures are evaluated by the numerical homogenization method. The explicit expression of the equivalent elasticity tensor with respect to the weight is built with radial basis interpolation function. The structural compliance is minimized to establish the topology optimization model
and the weight factor is taken as the design variable. The model is solved by the optimality criteria method. High-order continuous interpolation model is built by introducing Heaviside function to ensure the high-order continuity of GCS. Numerical examples and experimental results show that compared with the uniform cellular structures
the designed GCSs possess more superior robustness and load-bearing capacity
and the GCSs with different cellular configurations have diverse functional characteristics. The proposed method can be effectively applied to the design of TPMS-based GCS to realize the adjustment of the functional characteristics via cellular configurations
enriching the mechanical connotation of cellular structures.
