Abstract: A 2D topology optimization algorithm is proposed, which integrates the control of hole shape, hole number, and the minimum scale between holes through the utilization of an appearance target image. The distance between the structure and the appearance target image is defined as the hole appearance constraint. The appearance constraint is organized as inequality constraints to control the performance of the structure in an iterative optimization. Specifically, hole shapes are controlled by matching adaptable equivalent shape templates, the minimum scales between holes are controlled by a hole shrinkage strategy, and the hole number is controlled by a hole number calculation and filling method. Based on the SIMP interpolation topology optimization model, the effectiveness of the proposed method is verified through numerical examples.
