Abstract

Critical solution of stability is the optimum solution of cross-sectional area with stability constraint. By applying the linear Eulerian theory of stability, the critical solution with discrete variables for general truss structures is computed in this paper. Then, in order to compare the results with the ones in previous publications and to reveal the applicability of various theories of stability, the critical solutions with continuous cross-sectional areas are computed for several examples by applying various theories of stability.
