Abstract :
An efficient algorithm is presented for the formation of statical basis, corresponding to highly sparse flexibility matrices for structures. This is achieved by applying a modified ant colony optimization algorithm for the formation of localized self-equilibrating systems. The efficiency of the present algorithm is illustrated through simple truss examples.
