Abstract

The Enhanced Colliding Bodies Optimization (ECBO) method is used in prestressed symmetry cable dome design. The substructuring method is applied for analysis and extracting variables. The variables are the cross section of the cables and struts, and the minimum weight of the dome is adapted as the aim function. Canonical form matrices are obtained using graph model properties to generate smaller, spare matrices. This paper adopts rotationally repetitive properties to obtain design variables for optimized design with the ECBO algorithm. To establish the benefits of the proposed method, two domes are solved using both the common and the proposed methods. The comparison shows that time and memory are considerably reduced by the use of the substructure approach.
