Abstract
Several combinations of material and configuration are proposed for structure, and structural synthesis is used to select combination giving minimum weight design; method provides means of obtaining minimum weight, optimum design for each candidate combination; possibility of incorrect selection of material or configuration, or both, resulting in substantial weight penalty is shown; basic concepts of structural synthesis are presented and applied to 3-bar truss.Keywords
