Abstract
The optimization of the pylon is shown in this paper. The optimization is made by using flower pollination algorithm. The objective function is mass of the structure. The design constraints are static stress, local buckling and buckling. The unknowns are the typical dimensions of the circular hollow section truss. Parametric inspections have been made changing yield strength of material and the number of grid divisions. The results show that the use of higher yield strength steels, do not imply a lighter structure.
