Abstract

Second order methods are proposed herein for the optimal design of nonlinear structures under given constraints. We show that the system of the first order Euler-Lagrange condition can be solved efficiently by a Newton type method. The corresponding algorithm and numerical results are given in the second part for cases without inequality constraints. It can be easily extended to constrained problems using interior point algorithms. When it is applied to mechanical problems, the state variables will characterize the deformed configuration as well as an implicit adaptive discretization of the geometry.
