摘要
En 中文
An extension of the displacement based optimization method to frames with geometrically nonlinear response is presented. This method, when applied to small-scale trusses with linear and nonlinear response, appeared to be efficient providing the same solutions as the classical optimization method. The efficiency of the method is due to the elimination of numerous finite element analyses that are required in using the traditional optimization approach. However, as opposed to trusses, frame problems have typically a larger number of degrees of freedom than cross sectional area design variables. This leads to difficulties in the implementation of the method compared to the truss implementation. A scheme that relaxes the nodal equilibrium equations is introduced, and the method is validated using test examples. The optimal designs obtained by using the displacement based optimization and the classical approaches are compared to validate the application to frame structures. The characteristics and limitations of the optimization in the displacement space for sizing problems, based on the current formulation, are discussed.
