Annealing Method

Abstract A method for the design of truss structures which encourages lateral exploration, pushes away from violated spaces, models design intentions, and produces solutions with a wide variety of characteristics is introduced. An improved shape annealing algorithm for truss topology generation and optimization, based on the techniques of shape grammars and simulated annealing, implements the method. The algorithm features a shape grammar to model design intentions, an ability to incorporate geometric constraints to avoid obstacles, and a shape optimization method using only simulated annealing with more consistent convergence characteristics; no traditional gradient-based techniques are employed. The improved algorithm is illustrated on various structural examples generating a variety of solutions based on a simple grammar.

Abstract For plane truss structure, starting from the analysis of ideal truss model, the influence of tangential deformation and angular deformation on the secondary internal force of the truss is fully considered through Python program. It is obtained through analysis that: in the ideal truss model, the Pδ second-order effect causes the member to produce tangential deformation and angular deformation, resulting in secondary internal forces. Numerical analysis shows that due to the influence of secondary internal force, the axial force error of ideal truss model can reach 19.731% and the secondary shear force is almost all the members of the truss, and the secondary moment only appears at the support. The research results have important reference value for the engineering design and high-precision internal force analysis of truss structures.
