Abstract
Mathematical expressions for linear structures consisting of prismatic elements have been developed, which corroborate well-known facts: (a) nodal displacements depend on many design variables and (b) element s tresses depend on fewer numbers of design variables. Even though the a bove expressions are valid for any type of linear finite element discr etization, presently numerical experimentations are performed only for a frame structure.
