Continuum Analytical Shape Sensitivity Analysis of 1-D Elastic Bar

In this thesis, a continuum sensitivity analysis method is presented for calculation of shape sensitivities of an elastic bar. The governing differential equations and boundary conditions for the elastic bar are differentiated with respect to the shape design parameter to derive the continuum sensit...
