Optimum Design of Geometrically Nonlinear Double-Layer Domes by Firefly Metaheuristic Algorithm

Size optimization of double-layer scallop domes subjected to static loading is focused in the present paper. As this type of space structures possesses a large number of the structural elements, optimum design of such structures results in efficient structural configurations. In this paper, optimiza...
