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 stresses depend on fewer numbers of design variables. Even though the above expressions are valid for any type of linear finite element discretization, presently numerical experimentations are performed only for a frame structure.
