Abstract Traditional shape and stress control of structures use many actuators require enormous time to find reasonable solutions that need designers input specific target displacement stress. This study employs a linear technique static pin-jointed assemblies as theoretical advancement prior works provides comparative analysis against previously established works. The evaluates the proposed method using MATLAB optimum set actuators, SAP2000 verify actuation results obtained through applying actuations numerical models. minimizes number trials, count total up 83%, 73%, 50%, respectively. Furthermore, solution could be found in single trial. focuses on three aspects: (a) finding optimal actuators; (b) amount fmincon function; c) Implementing two-sided inequalities equations allowing develop internal forces nodal displacements, domains rather than numbers. improves optimization process affecting actuator count, elements, processing time.
