Secondary title: | Efficient shape optimization of space trusses |
Secondary abstract: | This paper describes an approach to the optimization of statically loaded space trusses. The cross-sectional properties of individual elements, the shape of the whole structure as well as the support locations depend on the design variables. The variable structural shape and the support locations are addressed by employing the design-element technique and an appropriate design element - the Bézier body. The variable cross-sectional properties of the individual truss elements are handled in the usual way. Kinematically nonlinear truss elements are employed as the finite elements. The optimization problem is defined in the form of a general nonlinear problem of mathematical programming. Since the design variables are all assumed to be continuous, a gradient-based optimization procedure is proposed. Two numerical examples of space-truss optimization are presented in detail to illustrate the use of the proposed approach. |
