An integer programming model for truss topology optimization

In this paper a truss-structure model is described for finding a kinematically stable structure with optimal topology and cross-sectional size and minimum volume. The underlying model findsapplicationsinsomecivil engineering structuraldesignproblemsand takes into consideration all the conditions ass...
