This paper describes an approach to shape optimal design of elastic space frames with kinematically non-linear response. A space frame structure is treated as to be assembled from several frame design elements each of them being defined as a skeleton lying on a rational BeΒ΄zier patch. The design var

## Abstract This paper describes an approach to shape optimal design of elastic planar frames with nonβlinear response. The foundation of the proposed approach forms an appropriate strategy of shape representation of the structure, based on the design element technique. A frame structure is treated
Sensitivity analysis for non-linear elastic structures in regular and critical states is ΓΏrst discussed including design parameters and initial imperfections. Next, the optimal design problem is formulated by considering imperfect structures and setting constraints on de ections and stresses. For st
The aim of this paper is to develop a structural optimization algorithm based on optimality criterion approach to achieve a minimum weight structure that satisfies a set of displacement constraints. Optimal designs are found considering both linear and non-linear behaviour of the structure and compa
An SQP-based reduced Hessian method for simultaneous analysis and design (SAND) of non-linearly behaving structures is presented and compared with conventional nested analysis and design (NAND) methods. It is shown that it is possible to decompose the SAND formulation to take advantage of the partic
