Design sensitivity analysis of structural systems

Book ·
OSTI ID:5759172

This volume presents a treatment of structural design sensitivity analysis. Both the mathematical and engineering foundations of design sensitivity analysis of structural systems are examined with a broad range of applications to structural components and structural systems. This work considers finite element models, design distribution of material described by functions and shape, and built-up structures that are composed of interconnected components. Each chapter includes problem formulation, examples, method development, illustrations, and theoretical foundations.
