Abstract

Multiscale topology optimization is crucial for designing porous infill structures with high stiffness-to-weight ratios and excellent energy absorption. Although gradient-based methods provide a rigorous framework, they are computationally expensive and struggle to capture cross-scale sensitivities in nonlinear settings. Moreover, the resulting hierarchical geometries are often overly complex and lack macroscopically meaningful features. To overcome these issues, we propose an evolutionary de-homogenization framework that couples MultiFidelity Topology Design (MFTD) with a phasor-based de-homogenization technique. The framework translates low-dimensional geometric descriptors into manufacturable high-resolution structures through a hybrid evolutionary algorithm integrating NSGA-II selection, VAE-enabled latent space crossover, and a novel image deformation-based mutation operator. This gradient-free approach achieves efficient optimization while ensuring geometric continuity. Numerical results confirm that the method effectively balances efficiency and design flexibility, offering a scalable pathway for fabrication-aware multiscale structural optimization.
