Abstract:
      Based on Response Surface Methodology,stress constraints are linearized in terms of direct variables through the handling of internal force,and displacement constraints are approximated in first-order form dependent on reciprocal variables.The cross-sectional optimization model of truss with minimal weight is transformed into quasi-unbownded model using the dual programming theory,which can be solved by sequential quadratic programming algorithm.Its computational efficiency is compared to the approaches of zero-order and first-order approximation of stress constraints(also expressed explicitly by RSM) through several numerical examples,which show the proposed method has advantages in some aspects.
