Özet

Design and analysis of structural systems is a time-consuming issue that requires a large amount of calculation volume. In addition, issues such as the amount of material to be used in the system, calculation of load, transportation, and labor costs directly affect the construction cost. Among the general design problems of structural systems is the goal of reducing the required material volume. Optimizing the total potential energy of the system is a solution that provides more economical and lightweight designs by reducing the material volume of the structural system. Metaheuristic algorithms are an optimization tool with quite practical applications developed by inspiration from nature. In this study, we focus on the design optimization of structural systems such as truss systems, cable systems, tensegrity structures, and plate systems and their solutions with metaheuristic methods. In addition, a tensegrity structural system example is taken and the system's total potential energy optimization (TPO) study is included with the adaptive harmony search algorithm, which is a metaheuristic algorithm.
