Abstract

This chapter discusses entropy-based topological optimization method for truss structures. A group of variables meaning the density distribution of energy is defined as a bridge between energy distribution and topological optimization. After the energy distribution is found, optimal cross-sectional areas are found. Then the two steps are executed in turn till the convergence is reached and then, the stiffness and strength reliability corresponding to the final topology are computed with reasonable results.
