Planning the reconfiguration of grounded truss structures with truss climbing robots that carry truss elements
Abstract-- In this paper we describe an optimal reconfiguration planning algorithm that morphs a grounded truss structure of known geometry into a new geometry. The plan consists o...

Creating models of truss structures with optimization
We present a method for designing truss structures, a common and complex category of buildings, using non-linear optimization. Truss structures are ubiquitous in the industrialize...

Support-Graph Preconditioners for 2-Dimensional Trusses
We use support theory, in particular the fretsaw extensions of Shklarski and Toledo [ST06a], to design preconditioners for the stiffness matrices of 2-dimensional truss structure...

STRAT: a Sketched-truss Recognition and Analysis Tool
The statically-determinate, pin-connected truss is a basic structural element used by engineers to create larger and more complex systems. Truss analysis and design are topics tha...
