An approximation method for configuration optimization of trusses
TL;DR: In this paper, an approximate structural analysis based on first order Taylor series expansions of the member forces is proposed to minimize the weight of the truss. But this method is limited to two-and three-dimensional elastic trusses.

Recent Developments in Structural Shape Optimization
TL;DR: Most structural optimization has dealt with member sizing, where the cross-sectional area or member thickness is the design variable as mentioned in this paper. But shape optimization, due to its inherent nonlinearities, has lagged behind in its development.
