Optimized Solution of Two Bar Truss Design Using Intuitionistic Fuzzy Optimization Technique

Abstract

The main goal of the structural optimization is to minimize the weight of structure or the vertical deflection of loaded joint while satisfying all design requirements imposed by design codes. In general fuzzy sets are used to analyze the fuzzy structural optimization. In this paper, a planer truss structural model in intuitionistic fuzzy environment has been developed. This paper proposes an intuitionistic fuzzy optimization approach to solve a non-linear programming problem in the context of a structural application. This approximation approach is used to solve structural optimization model with weight as objective function. This intuitionistic fuzzy optimization (IFO) approach is illustrated on two-bar truss structural design problem. The result of the intuitionistic fuzzy optimization obtained is compared with the other results of optimization algorithms from the literary sources. It is shown that the proposed intuitionistic fuzzy optimization approach is more efficient than the analogous fuzzy technique for structural design.
