Based on the simulation, three different geometric features, i.e. maximum deformation angle, maximum deformation depth and width of displacement constraint of the reconstructed shape of the deformed body are extracted.
This paper presents a distributed simulated annealing (SA) algorithm for optimal structural design of steel structures under stress, maximum displacement, and inter-story drift constraints.
The optimum design variables defined as mass, period and damping ratio of TMD were searched for the optimization objective (minimization of the maximum displacement of structure) and the design constraint (limitation of the scaled stroke of TMD).
The linear controller cannot deal with large perturbations due to the constraints on the maximum displacement and movement speed of the internal moving mass.
The constraint is imposed by limiting the maximum displacement of the liquid to the vertical height of the container.
Compliance minimization with material volume constraint, the maximum stress minimization problem, and the maximum displacement are considered.
In the case that a low limit for the maximum displacement is pre-set, the nonlinear critical load factor becomes the important constraint.
Corrected maximum displacement is obtained by subtracting constant small-scale displacement from the maximum displacement.
Red color indicates maximum displacement, blue color minimum displacement.
