Abstract
This t.hesis deals wit.h t.he problem of” opt.imizint; t.russes
wit.h bucklint; const.raint.s. The development. of” st.ruct.ural
opt.imizat.ion is present.ed wit.h a comperehansi ve review of” t.he
pr-evroue resecu’ches. The mat.hemat.ical basis of” some common
met.hods are e,.,.’Plained brief”ly. The opt.imali t.y crit.eria
met.hods are int.roduced wit.h a recurrence
relat.ion f”or
approximat.ion concept.s and
Newt.on-Raphson
dual met.hods
Lagrange
mult.ipliers
and
procedure. Bot.h
are displayed 1..0
increase t.he ef”f”iciency of” solut.ion. Several examples are
solved t.o verif”y t.he applicabilit.y of” t.he present.ad met.hods.
Opt.imum design of” ret.iculat.ed domes is invest.igat.ed t.ak.ing
Irrt,o account. t.he t.ype of” dome, height. t.o span rat.io.. cases
of” loading and design f”ormulae. The crit.ical buckli~ loads
are det.ermined f”or t.he opt.imized domes wit.h di.f”f”erent. height.
t.o span rat.ios. A brief” summary, and conclusions are given.
Suggest.ions f’or- :t-ut.ure e>..tension are present.ed at. t.he end.
