A Space-Time Finite Element Model for Design and Control Optimization of Nonlinear Dynamic Response

A design and control sensitivity analysis and multicriteria optimization formulation is derived for flexible mechanical systems. This formulation is implemented in an optimum design code and it is applied to the nonlinear dynamic response. By extending the spatial domain to the space-time domain and...
