Many optimization problems in engineering require coupling a mathematical programming process to a numerical simulation. When the latter is non-linear, the resulting computer time may become una ordably large because three sequential procedures are nested: the outer loop is associated to the optimiz

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
This paper describes some considerations around the analytical structural shape sensitivity analysis when the structural behaviour is computed using the "nite element method with a non-linear constitutive material model. Depending on the type of non-linear behaviour two di!erent approaches are propo
In this paper, two adaptive methods which permit the control of the parameters of a finite element computation for time-dependent material models are proposed. These methods use a global error measure in the constitutive relation based on Drucker's inequality. This error includes the accuracy of bot
In this paper, an e!ective active predictive control algorithm is developed for the vibration control of non-linear hysteretic structural systems subjected to earthquake excitation. The non-linear characteristics of the structural behaviour and the e!ects of time delay in both the measurements and c
