Özet:

 

In this paper, an algorithm is developed for the optimum design of  space trusses with the help of spreadsheets.  The algorithm depends on  the interactive computing capability of spreadsheets.  A general  purpose optimization tool in spreadsheets is used for the optimization  procedures.  The analyses of space trusses are performed by the matrix  displacement method.  Specific macros have been developed for matrix  calculations related to the truss systems.  The displacement, tensile  stress, buckling stress and minimum size constraints are considered in  the formulation of the design problem.  A number of design examples  are presented to demonstrate the application of the algorithm.  The  optimum designs obtained using the spreadsheets are compared with  those where a classical optimization method is employed.
