Popis: The problem of structural optimization of trusses subject to stress and frequency constraints is considered from a practical viewpoint. Assuming that the choice of members has to be from a discrete set of available sections, the solution is attempted using a mathematical programming approach and an approximate two‐step procedure involving a continuous variable optimization followed by a discrete programming algorithm. The latter approach is highly promising for problems involving stress and frequency constraints. Detailed results are presented using several benchmark problems.
