Robust Truss Topology Design with Beam Elements via Mixed Integer Nonlinear Semidefinite Programming

In this article, we propose a nonlinear semidefinite program (SDP) for the robust trusstopology design (TTD) problem with beam elements. Starting from the semidefinite formulation ofthe robust TTD problem we derive a stiffness matrix that can model rigid connections between beams.Since the stiffness...
