Abstract
In this paper the shape optimization problem for an inelastic case by the hybrid utilization of the BEM and design sensitivity analysis is e xamined. Gourevich's model for describing the inelastic behaviour of t he solid is used. As a numerical example, the problem for determining the optimal shape of the free boundary of a hole in a rectangular elas tic and inelastic metal plate uniaxial tension is solved.
