β¦ Synopsis
A procedure for sensitivity analysis used with nonlinear incremental-iterative structural analysis of frames is proposed. The sensitivity of displacement and stress are considered. The accuracy and efficiency of this method are confirmed by several examples. The method can be used for the second-order analysis and optimization design of framed structures. Practical constraints and considerations for the design of steel frames are included in the present studies such that the reported findings can be used directly for practical optimal design, which is believed to have not yet been studied or reported in literatures.

## Abstract A formulation is presented for the transient analysis of space frames in large displacement, small strain problems. For purposes of treating arbitrarily large rotations, node orientations are described by unit vectors and deformable elements are treated by a coβrotational (rigidβconvect
A computational method for design sensitivity analysis of the non-linear forced vibrations response of beams is presented. The large deflection leads to geometric non-linearity. Longitudinal displacement and inertia are considered in the non-linear vibration formulation. As an application of this me
