Sensitivity analysis for non-linear elastic structures in regular and critical states is ÿrst 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

A linear elastic response is assumed in most structural topology optimization problems. While this assumption is valid for a wide variety of problems, it is not valid for structures undergoing large displacements. The elastic structural analysis used here accommodates geometric and material non-line
A continuum-based sizing design sensitivity analysis (DSA) method is presented for the transient dynamic response of non-linear structural systems with elastic}plastic material and large deformation. The methodology is aimed for applications in non-linear dynamic problems, such as crashworthiness de
For con"guration design of non-linear dynamic structures, such as crashworthiness design, a continuumbased con"guration design sensitivity analysis (DSA) and optimization methods are developed. The same transient dynamic analysis method used in Part I of this paper is employed here. The elastic}plas
For the ®nite element non-linear analysis of engineering problems combined with an optimization method, two techniques Ð a semi-analytical sensitivity method and bi-point constraint approximation Ð have been proposed. To validate the proposed methods, a raft foundation on a soil medium has been anal
A high order shear deformation theory is used to develop a discrete model for the sensitivity analysis and optimization of laminated plate and shell structures in non-linear response. The geometrically non-linear analysis is based on an updated Lagrangian formulation associated with the Newton±Raphs
