Nonlinear analysis of structures by Total Potential Optimization using Metaheuristic Algorithms (TPO/MA)
Özet
Structural analysis problems can be formulized as either root finding problems, or optimization problems. The general practice is to choose the first option directly or to convert the second option again to a root finding problem by taking relevant derivatives and equating them to zero. The second alternative is used very randomly as it is and that only for some simple demonstrative problems, most probably due to difficulty in solving optimization problems by classical methods. The method called Total Potential Optimization using Metaheuristic Algorithms (TPO/MA) described in this study successfully enables handling structural problems with optimization formulation. Using metaheuristic algorithms provides additional advantages in dealing with all kinds of constraints.

Analysis of structures by total potential optimization using meta-heuristic algorithms (TPO/MA)
Toklu Y.C.; Toklu N.E. (Nova Science Publishers, Inc., 2017)Use of meta-heuristic algorithms in analysis of structures is much more recent than their use in design of structures. Effectively, while design optimization makes use of genetic algorithms, simulated annealing, swarm ... -
Space applications of tensegric structures
Toklu Y.C.; Temur R.; Bekdas G.; Uzun F. (2013)Tensile integrity (tensegrity, tensegric) structures are suggested for possible use in outer space and on space bodies because of their minimal need for structural materials, ease of transfer and mounting. Structurally ... -
