Abstract
Layout optimisation of structures, involving changes to
topology, geometry and component sizing, is both
complex and under-investigated. A technique for the
layout optimisation of pin-jointed frameworks based on
the principles of Genetic Algorithms is presented.
Structural optimisation constraints involving stress, local
buckling, and nodal displacement limits are also
investigated.
