The analytic hierarchy process is known as a useful tool for the group decision making methods. This tool has been area such as investment, R&D management, manufacturing, production and marketing. Typically, transportation problems have addressed by mathematical programming. In this paper, an optimal solution of transportation problem was determined by the analytic hierarchy process.

The purpose of this study is to get analytic solution of space truss using homotopy perturbation. A homotopy perturbation was derived by formulating a governing equation for a space truss, and a semi analytical solution was obtained by homotopy perturbation. In conclusion, the analytical solution of the simple nonlinear model using the homotopy perturbation was compared with the numerical analysis result.
