Topology optimization of the multi-fasteners jointed structure considering fatigue constraints

This paper is to present an important issue of fatigue failure in the design of multi-fasteners jointed structure. To avoid failure in the connection area, Sines criterion is utilized. Fatigue constraints are handled in the context of stress based topology optimization. To eliminate the high stresse...
