A computational method for design sensitivity analysis of elastoplastic structures. (English) Zbl 0853.73045

Design sensitivity analysis of structural systems having elastoplastic material behavior is developed using the continuum formulation, and its implementation into a finite element program is described. The main idea is to develop a computational procedure for design sensitivity analysis based on the response obtained by an incremental load approach for nonlinear response analysis, where the elastoplastic (time-independent) constitutive model is employed to account for the plastic material behavior; i.e. kinematic hardening and isotropic hardening. Discontinuities in the design sensitivity coefficients are investigated and a procedure is proposed to alleviate them. The control/reference domain approach is used to treat shape and non-shape design variables simultaneously. The direct variation method is adopted for this path-dependent problem to obtain the design sensitivity expression for the response variables.
