โฆ Synopsis
A method is developed./or the opthnisation o/./)'amed structures. The design parameters which are opthnised include cross-sections and spans. AnaO'sis is per/brined b v the sH#hess method. The non-linear oplimisation problem is soh,ed by tranaJbrmation into a series of unconstrained problems and use o! penalo,junctions.
A computer program has been developed./or Ol~limisation o/ beam grids. A numerical examlde demonstrates its application.

Perhaps, this paper reports the ยฎrst successful applications of the topology optimization in the design of (thinwalled) beam sections. In particular, topologically dierent thin-walled beam cross sections can be obtained by the present approach, which is very useful in identifying the direction and l
