Optimization methods for truss geometry and topology design
Optimization methods for truss geometry and topology design is a scholarly work, published in 1994 in ''Structural and Multidisciplinary Optimization''. The main subjects of the publication include mathematics, structural engineering, truss, engineering design process, topology optimization, duality, functionally graded material, electronic circuit topology, and tensegrity. Using duality principles and non-smooth analysis authors show how displacements only as well as stresses only formulations can be obtained and discuss the implications these formulations have for the construction and implementation of efficient algorithms for large-scale truss topology design.
