Description:
This study proposes a fatigue topology optimization approach for structural systems subjected to cyclic loading. Recognizing the impact of repeated loading on material endurance, the method incorporates fatigue considerations into the optimization process to enhance the durability and sustainability of load-bearing structures. By factoring in cyclic loading effects, this approach aims to reduce excessive material use while improving structural resilience, aligning with objectives for efficient and sustainable design. The proposed method is particularly useful in optimizing structural components in steel frameworks, where fatigue resistance and material efficiency are critical under dynamic loads. Emphasizing a balance between strength and durability, this study offers a practical tool for engineers aiming to design resilient structures that can endure cyclic stress without unnecessary material consumption. Furthermore, this framework is envisioned as a valuable solution for cyclic load environments, supporting more sustainable and resource-efficient engineering practices.
