Application of the Complex Variable Semi-analytical Method for Improved Displacement Sensitivity Evaluation in Geometrically Nonlinear Truss Problems
AbstractThe application of gradient-based methods to structural optimization problems usually requires the determination of displacement sensitivities with respect to design variables. In this regard, it is important to have at hand comprehensive methods for sensitivity analysis, which show stabilit...
