Accuracy analysis of the semi-analytical method for shape sensitivity analysis

The semi-analytical method, widely used for calculating derivatives of static response with respect to design variables for structures modeled by finite elements, is studied in this research. The research shows that the method can have serious accuracy problems for shape design variables in structur...
