Abstract
Inaccuracies in the length of members and the diameters of joints of large space structures may produce unacceptable levels of surface distortion and internal forces. We formulate two discrete optimization problems, one to minimize surface distortion (DRMS) and the other to minimize internal forces (FRMS). Both of these problems are based on the influence matrices generated by a small deformation linear analysis. Good solutions are obtained for DRMS and FRMS through the use of a simulated annealing heuristic. Results based on two biobjective (DRMS and FRMS) optimization models are discussed
