| Περίληψη: | The topology optimization of crash structures in automotive and aeronautical applications is challenging. Purely mathematical methods struggle due to the complexity of determining the sensitivities of the relevant objective functions and restrictions according to the design variables. For this reason, the Graph- and Heuristic-based Topology optimization (GHT) was developed, which controls the optimization process with rules derived from expert knowledge. In order to extend the collected expert rules, the use of reinforcement learning (RL) agents for deriving a new optimization rule is proposed in this paper. This heuristic is designed in such a way that it can be applied to many different models and load cases. An environment is introduced in which agents interact with a randomized graph to improve cells of the graph by inserting edges. The graph is derived from a structural frame model. Cells represent localized parts of the graph and delineate the areas where agents can insert edges. A newly developed shape preservation metric is presented to evaluate the performance of topology changes made by agents. This metric evaluates how much a cell has deformed by comparing its shape in the deformed and undeformed state. The training process of the agents is described and their performance is evaluated in the training environment. It is shown how the agents and the environment can be integrated as a new heuristic into the GHT. An optimization of the frame model and a vehicle rocker model with the enhanced GHT is carried out to assess its performance in practical optimizations. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
