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
In a previous paper a modified Hu-Washizu variational formulation has been used to derive an accurate four node plane strain/stress finite element denoted QE2. For the mixed element QE2 two enhanced strain terms are used and the assumed stresses satisfy the equilibrium equations a priori for the lin
