Abstract In this paper, we have developed an intuitionistic fuzzy optimization (IFO) approach considering non-linear membership and non-membership function for optimizing the design of plane truss structure with single objectives subject to a specified set of constraints. In this optimum design formulation, the objective functions are the weight of the truss; the design variables are the cross-sections of the truss members; the constraints are the stresses in members. A classical truss optimization example is presented here in to demonstrate the efficiency of the Intuitionistic fuzzy optimization approach with non-linear membership function. We made a comparative study of linear and non-linear membership and non-membership function to see its impact on intuitionistic fuzzy optimization and to get to the depth of such optimization process. The test problem consists of a two-bar planar truss subjected to a single load condition. This single-objective structural optimization model is solved by intuitionistic fuzzy optimization approach with non-linear membership and non-membership function. Numerical example is given to illustrate our approach. The result shows that the IFO approach is very efficient in finding the best discovered optimal solutions.
