Optimal truss sizing by modified Rao algorithm combined with feasible boundary search method
作者：
Highlights：
• An efficient constrained Rao algorithm is established for continuous truss sizing.
• The method, named FBSmRao, always provides fully feasible design.
• FBSmRao is simple and requires no algorithm-specific control parameter to perform.
• FBSmRao successfully optimizes four benchmark trusses with static constraints.
• The optimized designs are competitive in terms of quality and robustness.
