Summary

We propose a multicriteria approach to the optimization of trusses. Stress and cross sectional areas of bars are considered as independent variables. This is a distinguishing point of this method. Using two independent variables makes the equilibrium equations becomenonlinear. The problem is solved by the Optimization Toolbox of Matlab. In this paper, weconsider the nine-bar truss of as an example.
