Summary
This paper discusses the determination of design sensitivity coefficients (DSC’s), for planar elasticity problems, by the derivative boundary element method (DBEM). It is shown that this is an efficient and accurate method for the determination of DSC’s -especially of stresses on the boundary of a body. Numerical results are presented for two illustrative problems for which analytical solutions are available. These numerical solutions compare very well with the analytical solutions.
