Paper reports results of investigation of new approach to structural synthesis and analysis, which makes it possible to find optimum design and its behavior without engaging in evaluation of intermediate trial designs; structural synthesis problem is transformed into unconstrained minimization problem in space such that each point represents set of values for design variables as well as for each behavior variable in each load condition; minimum-weight design of m-bar planar truss is used as example to formulate problem.
