| Abstract
|
:
|
The author of this book presents a general, robust, and easy-to-use method that can handle many design parameters efficiently.Following an introduction, Chapter 1 presents the general concepts of truss layout optimization, starting from topology optimization where structural component sizes and system connectivity are simultaneously optimized. To fully realize the potential of truss layout optimization for the design of lightweight structures, the consideration of geometrical variables is then introduced.Chapter 2 addresses truss geometry and topology optimization by combining m
