Summary
This paper deals with an enumeration method of various optimal truss topologies
which have the same objective value. In this paper, the truss topology optimization
problem (TTOP) is formulated as a multiobjective optimization problem (MOP),
which is to find the cross-sectional area of truss members such that both the
structural volume and the compliance are minimized. This MOP can be transformed
into an equivalent linear programming (LP) problem and the optimal truss topology
can be obtained by the interior point method. Using this optimal solution by the
interior point method, other various optimal truss topologies with the same objective
value can be systematically enumerated. The applications of the proposed method
are illustrated in numerical examples with a discussion of the characteristics of the
design results.
