摘要：
A unified approach is presented for shape design sensitivity analysis of nonlinear structural systems that include trusses and beams. Both geometric and material nonlinearities are considered. Design variables that specify the shape of components of built-up structures are treated, using the continuum equilibrium equations and the material derivative concept. To best utilize the basic character of the finite element method, shape design sensitivity information is expressed as domain integrals. For numerical evaluation of shape design sensitivity expressions, two alternative methods are presented: the adjoint variable and direct differentiation methods. Advantages and disadvantages of each method are discussed. Using the domain formulation of shape design sensitivity analysis, and the adjoint variable and direct differentiation methods, design sensitivity expressions are derived in the continuous setting in terms of shape design variations. A numerical method to implement the shape design sensitivity analysis, using established finite element codes, is discussed. Unlike conventional methods, the current approach does not require differentiation of finite element stiffness and mass matrices.
