Abstract

A general approach to shape design sensitivity analysis and optimal design for dynamic transient and free vibration problems using boundary elements is presented. The material derivatives and the adjoint system method are applied to obtain first-order sensitivities for the effect of boundary shape variations. A numerical example of shape sensitivity analysis and optimal design for free vibrations of an elastic body is presented.
