A method in discrete frame optimization and its outlook

The rigid frame design problem is formulated as a discrete optimization problem using minimum weight as criterion. A new technique called complex-simplex method is proposed as the method of solution. Published examples are used to test the performances of the method, good results are obtained. Futur...

Summary:The rigid frame design problem is formulated as a discrete optimization problem using minimum weight as criterion. A new technique called complex-simplex method is proposed as the method of solution. Published examples are used to test the performances of the method, good results are obtained. Future projections and research directions in this subject area are discussed.
