We present a convergent continuous branch‐and‐bound algorithm for global optimization of
minimum weight truss topology problems with displacement, stress, and local buckling …

In this paper a truss-structure model is described for finding a kinematically stable structure
with optimal topology and cross-sectional size and minimum volume. The underlying model …

In this paper, an efficient extrapolation approach for the solutions of singular problems in
structural topology optimization subjected to stress constraints is presented. On the basis of …
