Abstract

Background. In recent years, there has been a rapid development of the domestic military industry. Reducing the mass and increasing the specific strength of military products used in the field – the most pressing challenges facing engineers and scientists today. The rapid development of adaptive production has significantly expanded the possibilities of methods of topological optimization in the design of new products or improvement of existing design and technological solutions in order to reduce weight.

Objective. The purpose of the paper is to improve the efficiency of designing the technology of manufacturing a frame type construction based on the method of topological optimization, which will reduce the weight of the product, while maintaining all the specified functional parameters.

Methods. The paper presents an analysis of topological optimization methods and offers the interaction of modern ADS, namely CAD, CAM, CAE modules at the stage of design and technological preparation of production, which once again demonstrated its effectiveness in solving problems to reduce product weight.

Results. The main tasks of topological optimization were solved for the frame type constructions, such as the minimization of volume and mass under physical constraints, as well as the optimization of other parameters with given geometric constraints. As a result, the proposed method of reducing the weight of the product is improved, which due to rational design and technological measures ensured a 56 % reduction in the weight of the frame type structure from the original and reduced the complexity of the manufacturing process by 22 % due to its effective adaptation to new technological conditions.

Conclusions. The application of methods of topological optimization and rational establishment of design and technological constraints on products at the design stage can be very effective in solving problems of reducing the weight of products and optimizing manufacturing processes.
