2、或一個變截面的繞度在一個單一的集中壓力下。其他的應用這個方法被簡單的討論,并且用一個多功能的設計的簡單的例子來結束這份文件。</p><p><b>  1 。導言</b></p><p>  結構最優(yōu)化的最普通的問題或許可以表述如下:從所有的滿足某些限制的結構設計,選擇其中一個最低成本的。注意這個聲明并不定義一個唯一的設計;可能同時有幾個最優(yōu)化的設計有相同的成本。&

3、lt;/p><p>  典型的設計將考慮滿足變形或受力的最大約束,或者最小約束的承載能力,屈服載荷,或固有頻率。單一的和多用途的結構都要被考慮,即是受單一因素或多重因素的約束。</p><p>  設計聲明中的花費也許會參照到制造成本或總生產(chǎn)成本和生產(chǎn)中結構的壽命。 在航天結構中,燃油成本需要執(zhí)行最大的重量但最小的質(zhì)量是他們設計的唯一目標,這個觀點將要使用在下面文章。</p>&

5、束的結構盡管多約束的結構是具有更大的實際意義。</p><p><b>  2 。離散</b></p><p>  去探索具有數(shù)學性質(zhì)的最優(yōu)化結構問題,這是經(jīng)常有用的用一個分立模擬取代連續(xù)問題??紤],例如,簡直彈性梁在圖。 1最大偏轉(zhuǎn)所產(chǎn)生的給予負荷6P不會超過給定值。對于離散性問題,用一系列用彈性鉸鏈連接的剛性棒取代梁。</p><p>

9、t;p>  這句話很重要因為剛剛開始的設計對于滿足所有約束的相鄰設計是沒有什么實際價值的。也要注意到 優(yōu)化總體上 不會對應到位于一個邊的或恰好位于一個頂點區(qū)域的一個點的空間設計。這句話直觀的表明沖突的約束不一定是有用的。假如,舉個例子來說,設計,,條件<<=.假如是剛度的最小變量,設計+,-,,擁有相同的質(zhì)量的理想繞度為,, 滿足<,<<=而且三個剛度降低一定的比例直到第一個鉸鏈的繞度是。假如這個探
