Rapid iterative reanalysis for automated design

TL;DR: In this article, a method for iterative reanalysis in automated structural design is presented for a finite-element analysis using the direct stiffness approach, where the generalized stiffness and inertia matrices are expressed as functions of structural design parameters.

Solving topologically modified structures

TL;DR: In this article, the results of a previous analysis can be used to decrease the computational effort which is needed for a complete reanalysis of the modified structure by using the results from a previous solution to obtain solutions when joints are added to or deleted from a structure.

Consistent mass matrices for three dimensional beam element due to distributed and lumped non-structural mass systems acting on its span

TL;DR: In this article, the authors derived consistent mass matrices for the three dimensional beam element resulting from the distributed and the lumped non-structural mass systems acting on its span by considering equivalent density functions for torsion, bending and axial directions.

Model Verification and Validation of a Piezo-Elastic Support for Passive and Active Structural State Control of Beams with Circular Cross-Section

TL;DR: In this article, the elastic properties of the piezo-elastic support for passive and active structural control of beams with circular cross-section are investigated numerically and experimentally and the existing models are updated in the verification process.
