Abstract
The local dependence of static response and eigenvalues on the shape of plates and plane elastic solids is characterized. The so-called material derivative method is used. The shape sensitivity analysis includes, besides linear problems, nonlinear problems with unilateral conditions, e.g., the frictionless contact problem for an elastic body on a rigid foundation. The results on shape sensitivity analysis can be used to obtain expressions for variations of integral functionals that arise in structural optimization problems.
