Structural optimization is used in statics, for example to optimize the weight
of components and structures or to increase their stability. This thesis deals with
the optimization of cross-sectional areas of truss structures. For this purpose,
different ways of optimization are presented first. Subsequently two of them are
applied to the optimization task of area optimization. One of them is of first
order theorie, the other of second order. The design model, which stores the
properties of the structure, is implemented in a Python Program. It forms the
basis for the actual optimization. The derivation of the optimization functions
is explained in the further course of this thesis. Finally, the two variants are
compared to one another using sample systems and their suitability for the
optimization task is examined.
