Description:	The book is organized into four chapters. The first three treat distinct types of design variables, and the fourth presents a built up structure formulation that combines the other three. The first chapter treats finite-dimensional problems, in which the state variable isa finite-dimensional vector of structural displacements and the design variable is a finite-dimensional vector of design parameters. The structural state equations are matrix equations for static response, vibration, and buckling of structures and matrix differential equations for transient dynamic response of structures,with design variables appearing in the coefficient matrices. Examples treated include trusses, frames, and finite-element models of more complex structures. Both direct design differentiation and adjoin variable methods of design sensitivity analysis are presented. Computational aspects of implementing the methods in conjunction with finite-element analysis codes are treated in some detail. The mathematical complexity of this class off inite dimensional problems is minimal, with the exception of the repeated eigen value case,in which some technically sophisticated issues arise.
