    Notes: Abstract Optimal design of frames including cross-sectional dimensions (size parameters) and rigid joint positions between beams (configuration parameters) is treated in the paper. The optimal design corresponds to a minimal mass structure with constraints set on damping capacity of free vibration modes. The sensitivity analysis of distinct as well as multiple frequencies is performed analytically using a complex variable sensitivity method. The linking process of size and configuration variables is applied to generate different classes of optimal designs. The numerical algorithm is based on quadratic approximation of the objective function and linear approximation of active constraints. The examples are provided for 2, 12, and 124 beam frames.

    Notes: Abstract A heuristic algorithm for optimal design trusses is presented with account for stress and buckling constraints. The design variables are constituted by cross-sectional areas, configuration of nodes and the number of nodes and bars. Similarly to biological growth models, it is postulated that the structure evolves with the characteristic size parameter and the “bifurcation” of topology occurs with the generation of new nodes and bars in order to minimize the cost function. The first-order sensitivity derivatives provide the necessary information on topology variation and the optimality conditions for configuration and cross-sectional parameters.

    Notes: Abstract The present paper is aimed to simulate progression of damage, hardening and softening response in brittle materials such as concrete or rock in general state of stress. Similar shape of surfaces for yield, failure and damage progressing are available, and softening strain is treated as plasticity. Then, the proposed model is applied to solving several boundary value problems.

    Notes: Abstract A viscoplastic model accounting for developing damage in concrete is proposed by assuming the rate of damage to be dependent on viscous strain and stress rates. The damage is measured by a scalar parameter affecting both the yield stress and the material viscosity. For a post-critical range of deformation, the localized mode occurs for which additional constitutive equations are specified. The model is applied to simulate uniaxial strain rate controlled and creep response for the concrete.

    Notes: Abstract An algorithm of optimal design of supports including their number, position and stiffness is proposed. The number of supports constitute topological design parameters, their positions correspond to configuration parameters. Both, elastic and rigid supports are considered and the optimization is aimed to minimize the total structure cost. The topology bifurcation points correspond to generation of new supports. The topological sensitivity derivative is used in deriving the optimality conditions. The optimization procedure provides number of supports, their position and stiffness of both supports and beam segments.

    Notes: The present paper is concerned with modelling of fatigue crack initiation and propagation by applying the non-local critical plane model, proposed by Seweryn and Mróz. Using the linear elastic stress field at the front of a crack or sharp notch the damage growth on a physical plane is specified in terms of mean values of stress and strength functions. When the damage zone reaches a critical length, crack growth accompanies damage evolution. The model is applied to study crack propagation under cyclically varying tension compression and the predictions are compared with experimental data. The evolution of the damage zone and crack propagation in the biaxial case is considered next.

    Notes: Damage of a structure affects its stiffness properties and induces a shift in the free frequency spectrum. In the paper, an additional parameter is introduced, such as concentrated elastic or rigid support and mass. The evolution of natural frequencies is analyzed for varying parameter values with respect to damage location. This frequency variation is used in assessing the location and magnitude of damage by introducing the damage indices or by solving the identification problem requiring the minimization of the parameter dependent distance functional. The first part of the paper is concerned with the sensitivity analysis of damage indices with respect to support or mass location. The second part deals with the identification problem for which the specific examples are treated.
