Corrosion-damage can easily cause local elements distortion, leading to numerical instability in the nonlinear topology optimization of structures. Existing suppression methods are mainly applied to elastic structures undergoing large deformation, but these methods suffer from the issues such as low efficiency and limited applicability, making them difficult to meet the requirements of 3D load paths search for corrosion-damaged structures. Therefore, a method for structural 3D load paths topology search based on distortion control of corrosion-damaged elements is proposed in this paper. Firstly, this method employs the concept of adaptive scaling of local stiffness to control the distortion of corrosion-damaged elements. Their local stiffness is scaled at different proportions based on a defined distortion degree of corrosion-damaged elements, while restraining element distortion and optimization errors. Secondly, a mathematical expression of nonlinear topology optimization of load paths search in corrosion-damaged structures is given. By taking into account the effects of material deterioration and bond degradation, a sensitivity calculation formula for corrosion-damaged elements is derived based on the adjoint method. Finally, numerical examples are conducted for verification, demonstrating that the proposed method in this paper can reasonably generate 3D load paths for corrosion-damaged structures, revealing the development law of load paths in corroded RC beams.
