  FIXED POINT THEORY AND STRUCTURAL OPTIMIZATION
 
 
Title: FIXED POINT THEORY AND STRUCTURAL OPTIMIZATION
Author: Levy, Robert
Appeared in: Engineering optimization
Paging: Volume 17 (1991) nr. 4 pages 251-261
Year: 1991-06-01
Contents: This paper discusses the existence of solutions to problems of structural optimization which are of an iterative nature and possess explicit recurrence relationships for redesign. Five optimization problems are presented. These are the stress constrained truss, the stress constrained prestressed truss under two loading conditions, the natural frequency constrained truss, the overall stability constrained truss and the rigid frame. Common to the five problems is an “allowable stress” algorithm. Schauder's fixed point theorems are discussed and utilized to prove existence, fundamental to which is the scaling property of the individual mappings. A discussion on fixed points, fully stressed designs and optimal solutions follows.
