A multicriteria method for truss optimizationA multicriteria method for truss optimization Αφίσα σε Συνέδριο Conference Poster 2015-10-132014enWe 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 become nonlinear. The problem is solved by the Optimization Toolbox of Matlab. In this paper, we consider the nine-bar truss of as an example.http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/6th European Conference on Computational Fluid Dynamics Stavroulakis Georgios Σταυρουλακης Γεωργιος M.
