OPTIMIZATION OF STRUCTURAL GEOMETRY

Publisher Summary This chapter focuses on the optimization of structural geometry. Much of the literature on structural optimization is concerned with the optimal choice of cross-sectional dimensions in a structure whose layout has already been determined by other considerations. When the layout and the cross-sectional dimensions are at the choice of the designer, structural optimization becomes a more challenging problem. This chapter reviews the state of the art in the optimization of the layout of trusses and grillages. The chapter discusses grillages and trusses. It also discusses the optimality condition for trusses and describes the truss-like continua.
