Abstract
Optimization methods providing maximum strength and rigidity of the thin-walled structure are considered. A critical overview of the works related to the optimization including the heated design is done. To optimize for several cases of loading, a minimization of functional is applied, which is the sum of the total potential strain energies for each case of loading. The optimization process begins with the initial basic structure, which includes all possible variants of the location of the power elements. In the optimization process, inefficient elements are eliminated by minimizing their rigidity. Numerical optimization studies on the example of truss construction are carried out.
