Design Sensitivity Analysis of Structural Systems, Vol. 177

The book is organized into four chapters. The first three treat distinct types of design variables, and the fourth presents a built-up structure formulation that combines the other three. The first chapter treats finite-dimensional problems, in which the state variable is a finite-dimensional vector of structure displacements and the design parameters. The structual state equations are matrix equations for static response, vibration, and buckling of structures and matrix differential equations for transient dynamic response of structures, which design variables appearing in the coefficient matrices.Haug, Edward J. is the author of 'Design Sensitivity Analysis of Structural Systems, Vol. 177' with ISBN 9780123329202 and ISBN 0123329205.
