Abstract
As there are many elements to be treated at the same time in an optimum posture determination of an adaptive truss structure composed of some truss modules with variable-length members, it is difficult to solve it due to the existence of many local optimum solutions especially when not only the direction of the load but also the position of the load are constrained. So in this study, we consider the problem that determines an optimum posture of an adaptive truss structure taking account of buckling of truss members by using Immune Algorithm (IA) by which we can examine some local optimum solutions and have a high possibility for obtaining the global optimum solution.
