Abstract The search for representative resistant systems for a concrete structure requires deep knowledge about its mechanical behavior. Strut-and-tie models are classic analysis procedures to the design of reinforced concrete regions where there are stress concentrations, the so-called discontinuous regions of the structure. However, this model is strongly dependent of designer’s experience regarding the compatibility between the internal flow of loads, the material’s behavior, the geometry and boundary conditions. In this context, the present work has the objective of presenting the application of the strut-and-tie method in linear and non-linear on some typical structural elements, using the Evolutionary Topological Optimization Method (ESO). This optimization method considers the progressive reduction of stiffness with the removal of elements with low values of stresses. The equivalent truss system resulting from the analysis may provide greater safety and reliability.

Based on the theory of FEM, the hooklift arm is modeled with the FEM software, and the structure of the device is optimized with genetic algorithm in a multi-objective/multi-parameter optimization environment, which results in an optimal design decision of the hooklift arm device under the engineering constraint. Comparison between optimized design decision and original design decision shows that the optimization is correct and the proposed multi-objective/multi-parameter optimization method is effective in improving the hooklift arm device.

Annealing Algorithm

The housing fillet of universal mill affects the strengthen and stiffness of mill. It is necessary to optimize the housing fillet. In this paper, the simulated annealing algorithm (SA) combined with finite element method (FEM) , a new kind of structural optimization method is established. MATLAB language is used to compile the program combined the SA with FEM to optimize housing fillet of universal mill. Compared with the zero order and first order optimization method of ANSYS program, the result of this optimal method is better.
