Abstract

Truss structures are widely used in buildings, bridges and other engineering fields due to their efficient bearing capacity and economy. With the increase in the scale and complexity of truss structure design, traditional design methods have gradually exposed problems such as low efficiency and insufficient precision. Optimization design, as an effective way to improve the mechanical properties of truss structures, has gradually become a research focus. This paper reviews the basic theories, methods and applications of mechanical performance optimization design of truss structures, introduces the limitations of traditional design methods and the application progress of modern optimization algorithms. Intelligent optimization methods, such as genetic algorithms and particle swarm optimization algorithms, can effectively handle complex optimization problems with multiple objectives and multiple constraints, and improve design accuracy and efficiency. At the same time, the integration of new materials and interdisciplinary technologies provides a more advanced solution for the optimization design of truss structures. This paper also discusses the application cases of truss structure optimization design in actual engineering, and analyzes the actual effects of different optimization methods and the challenges they face. In general, the research on truss structure optimization design not only promotes the performance improvement of truss structures, but also provides theoretical support for the sustainable development of engineering construction.
