摘要:
In this paper, prestressed cable-truss optimization design is discussed where in design variables including cross-section size, cable pretension force and nodes locations of member and cable, the constraint conditions of a two-stage design of applying prestress and applying prestress and load together are considered. A relevant shape optimization mathematical model is founded. In order to solve the problem, the design variables are divided into two subspaces: the first one is the cable pretension force and the cross-section size optimization space, the second one is shape optimization space. For the first one, a new solution method is provided to reduce the structure weight, and for the second one, evolutionary method of nodes is applied to optimize the structural shape and cable locations to improve the structural stiffness. Examples indicate that the method has the merit that the structural weight reduces gradually without decreasing in stiffness and the structural shape works up to the optimal status in the optimization design of prestressed cable-truss structures.
