ABSTRACT
Topology optimization is one of the optimization applications in the field of infrastructure or truss structure design. Aiming to find the optimal connectivity bar by determining the best node leads to minimizing compliance. Robust optimization is used to conquer the uncertainty of external load parameters that are continuous and convex. The Robust Topology Optimization model uses semidefinite programming with an ellipsoidal uncertainty set. To solve the model, we use a modeling system called CVX, CVX uses the object-oriented features of MATLAB to turn it into an optimization modelling language: optimization variables can be declared and constraints and objectives specified using natural MATLAB syntax. The results of numerical simulations using CVX in the Robust Truss Topology Design (RTTD) model obtained an optimal robust solution, where the truss is resistant to load uncertainty for single-load or multi-load.
