Abstract
Several practical tools for the characterization of the optimal layout of a truss system have been developed in recent years based on fundamental theorems like Maxwell's and Michell's. The paper will revisit such theorems and demonstrate their relevance in optimal truss system design. In addition, the latest findings on the geometric aspects of optimum trusses will be presented in relation to the three-point problem for a cantilever truss and more general three-force problem.
