In this paper optimum design of frames is discussed. Specifically, minimum weight design of steel frames in the elastic range of material behaviour is treated. The solution algorithm is designed and programmed for use on micro-computers to suit a design office environment. Stress and slenderness constraints are considered, however displacement constraints may readily be implemented. Three examples are given and the results are discussed.

Guided stochastic search technique for discrete sizing optimization of steel trusses: A design-driven heuristic approach Azad, S. Kazemzadeh; Hasançebi, Oğuzhan; Saka, M. P. (Elsevier BV, 2014-04-01) This study presents a design-driven heuristic approach named guided stochastic search (GSS) technique for discrete sizing optimization of steel trusses. The method works on the basis of guiding the optimization process using the well-known principle of virtual work as well as the information collected during the structural analysis and design stages. The performance of the proposed technique is investigated through a benchmark truss instance as well as four real-size trusses sized for minimum weight accordi...
OPTIMIZATION AND SENSITIVITY OF PRESTRESSED CONCRETE BEAMS ERBATUR, F; ALZAID, R; DAHMAN, NA (Elsevier BV, 1992-12-03) This paper is concerned with the optimum design of prestressed concrete beams. Both minimum weight and minimum cost optimization formulations are given for simply supported beams having three different sections. Sensitivity of the optimum designs, with respect to various design parameters, are also discussed. The formulation is programmed for interactive use on micro-computers. An example is given and results are discussed.
Optimum design of high-rise steel buildings using an evolution strategy integrated parallel algorithm Hasançebi, Oğuzhan; Kurç, Özgür (Elsevier BV, 2011-11-01) The present study addresses a parallel solution algorithm for optimum design of large steel space frame structures, in particular high-rise steel buildings. The algorithm implements a novel discrete evolution strategy optimization method to effectively size these systems for minimum weight according to the provisions of ASD-AISC specification and various practical aspects of design process. The multitasking environment in the algorithm rests on a master-slave model based parallelization of the optimization ...
ISOPARAMETRIC ELEMENTS WITH UNEQUALLY SPACED EDGE NODES UTKU, M; CITIPITIOGLU, E; OZKAN, G (Elsevier BV, 1991-01-01) In the isoparametric finite element formulation, mapping of equally spaced nodes on the boundary of the master element to unequally spaced locations on the physical elements results in an unacceptable distortion. This type of distortion is defined as 'node mapping distortion' and a technique for its elimination is presented. Simple test cases demonstrate the utility of the new formulation.
CHAOTIC DYNAMIC ANALYSIS OF VISCOELASTIC SHALLOW SPHERICAL-SHELLS Karaesmen, Engin; ILERI, L; AKKAS, N (Elsevier BV, 1992-08-03) This paper investigates the dynamic behaviour of a shallow, viscoelastic, spherical shell under a harmonic excitation. The time evolutions of the response of the corresponding nonlinear dynamical system are described by the phase portraits and the bifurcation of the parameter dependent system is studied numerically so as to identify qualitative changes in the phase portrait. The viscoelastic shell, having more than one equilibrium configuration for some problem parameters, shows periodic and/or random-like ...
