Abstract
The theory of layout of optimum two-dimensional frameworks is developed using directly the idea of compatibility of strain in the virtual deformation determined by Michell. Appropriate equilibrium equations are derived and solved for the special case of an equiangular spiral layout used to form a cantilever beam. It is concluded that the mathematical complexity which arises in dealing with this relatively simple layout raises doubts as to the value of seeking analytic solutions of the layout and equilibrium equations.
