Shape Optimization of Cover Plates for Retractable Roof Structures
Department of Engineering, University of Cambridge Trumpington Street, Cambridge CB2 1PZ, U.K. Abstract The optimal shape of cover plates for circular, symmetric retractable roof structures based on a grid of multi-angulated rods connected by revolute joints is considered. It is assumed that these cover plates are co-planar, and hence they are not allowed to overlap in any configuration; they a...
متن کاملRetractable roof structures
j This paper presents a new concept for retractable roof structures. The new structures consist of a foldable lattice of beams connected by cylindrical joints, to which covering panels or membranes are attached. These structures fold towards their perimeter and there is practically no limit to their shape. Solutions to the key problems that have to be solved in the course of the kinematic desig...
متن کاملSecond order sensitivity analysis for shape optimization of continuum structures
This study focuses on the optimization of the plane structure. Sequential quadratic programming (SQP) will be utilized, which is one of the most efficient methods for solving nonlinearly constrained optimization problems. A new formulation for the second order sensitivity analysis of the two-dimensional finite element will be developed. All the second order required derivatives will be calculat...

متن کاملSHAPE OPTIMIZATION OF STRUCTURES BY MODIFIED HARMONY SEARCH
The main aim of the present study is to propose a modified harmony search (MHS) algorithm for size and shape optimization of structures. The standard harmony search (HS) algorithm is conceptualized using the musical process of searching for a perfect state of the harmony. It uses a stochastic random search instead of a gradient search. The proposed MHS algorithm is designed based on elitism. In...
