Abstract:

Buckling of slender bars subject to axial compressive loads represents a critical design constraint for light-weight truss structures. Active buckling control by actuators provides a possibility to increase the maximum bearable axial load of individual bars and, thus, to stabilize the truss structure.For reasons of cost, it is in general not economically viable to use such actuators in each bar of the truss structure. Hence, it is an important practical question where to place these active bars. Optimized structures, especially when coupled with active elements to further decrease the number of necessary bars, however, lead to designs, which, while cost-efficient, are especially prone to bardamages, caused, e.g., by material failures. Therefore, this paper presents a mathematical optimization approach to optimally place active bars for buckling control in a way that secures both buckling and general stability constraints even after failure of any combination of a certain number of bars. This allows us to increase the resilience of the system and guarantee stable behavior even in case of failures.
