Generalized design variables in rod system optimization under pulse loading

Abstract

The paper presents the comparative analysis of optimization of the multi-element rod system under static and pulse loads at a variable number of design parameters. It is shown that the design concept of generalization of design variables can significantly reduce not only the complexity of solving the optimization problem, but also the quality of the optimum solution. Approaches are proposed for generalizing the multidimensional design parameters for the twodimensional case at the restrictions of the maximum equivalent stress and strain. The proposed optimization of the frame structure proves the effectiveness of these approaches.
