Abstract
An optimum design algorithm is presented for plane frames with variable cross sections under displacement, stress, lateral buckling and stability constraints. The optimality criteria method is used to develop recursive relationships for the design variables considering above mentioned constraints. Matrix displacement method is also used for linear-elastic analysis of frames required at every design cycle. A number of design examples are presented to demonstrate the application of the algorithm.
