Application of Multi-Criteria Optimization to Large-Scale Structures Design

Article Preview

Abstract:

The paper presents fundamental principles and application of the large-scale truss structure PKP25-20i optimal design based on a multi-criteria optimization algorithm. The multi-objective function contains conditions for deformation, stability and cumulative damage obtained by finite element analyses. The whole process was implemented and realized in special Matlab’s procedures and FEM software Cosmos/M.
