K. Dems et al., APPLICATION OF FIRST-ORDER AND 2ND-ORDER SENSITIVITIES IN DOMAIN OPTIMIZATION FOR STEADY CONDUCTION PROBLEM, Journal of thermal stresses, 20(7), 1997, pp. 697-728
A steady heat conduction problem within an anisotropic domain is formu
lated. Considering an arbitrary behavioral functional, its first and s
econd sensitivities with respect to variation of domain shape are deri
ved using the material derivative concept and direct as well as adjoin
t approaches. Then the shape optimal design problem is formulated and
the optimization algorithms of the first and second order are discusse
