Isogeometric configuration design sensitivity analysis of geometrically exact shear-deformable beam structures

Abstract In this paper, using an isogeometric approach, a continuum-based adjoint configuration design sensitivity analysis (DSA) method is presented for three-dimensional finite deformation shear-deformable beam structures. A geometrically exact beam model together with a multiplicative update of finite rotation by an exponential map of a skew-symmetric matrix is utilized. The material derivative of the orthogonal transformation matrix can be evaluated at final equilibrium configuration, which enables to compute design sensitivity using the tangent stiffness at the equilibrium without further iterations. We also present a procedure of explicit parameterization of initial orthonormal frame using the smallest rotation (SR) method within the isogeometric analysis framework. Furthermore, it is shown that for curve entities embedded to a smooth surface, the convected basis of the surface can be effectively utilized for reference orthonormal frames in the SR method. Various numerical examples including pressure loads and nonhomogeneous kinematic boundary conditions in built-up structures demonstrate the effectiveness of the developed DSA method.
