Structure Design Project (Optimisation) This project is an exercise in design optimisation. The aim is to design a 3D-Truss structure, which will carry or transmit known forces from given positions to a supporting wall. The loads are supported at the same level. A sketch showing the configuration is given below. P1 = 3000 kg P2 = 2000 kg 3 m 3 m Design Constraints The maximum stress allowed in any member, compressive or tensile, is 125 MPa. Density of the material used is 7850 kg/m² and Youngs Modulus, E = 200 GPa Design Requirements Design a 3D-Truss with pin joints throughout to transmit the forces shown. Use minimum number of members. Design the structure for minimum total structural mass, each member having a cross-section just large enough to carry its load at maximum permissible stress. • Determine the vertical deflection under the load P2 Deliverables A typed full design report with the necessary components of a report e.g Table of Contents, Introduction, Definition of problem, Concept formation, Discussion of solution, conclusions, recommendations, appendices, etc. [120]
