446 Q. Liu t al. / Optimization dsign of structurs subjctd to transint loads using first and scond drivativs first drivativs of structural dynamic rsponss for gradint-basd algorithms. Howvr, many algorithms hav bn dvlopd to calculat dynamic rspons first drivativs with rspct to dsign variabls (also calld snsitivity analysis 5 2]). Today, th gradint-basd algorithms ar th mainstram pattrn 3] to solv th optimization problm of structurs subjctd to transint loads. Much rsarch 4 7] has bn don to solv th structural dynamic rspons optimization problm with th gradint-basd algorithms. Scond ordr mthods rquir th information of dynamic rsponss, thir first and scond drivativs with rspct to dsign variabls to construct optimal algorithms. Th Nwton s mthod and Quasi Nwton s mthod ar th commonly usd scond ordr mthod. Although many rsarchrs hav calculatd dynamic rspons first drivativs with rspct to dsign variabls, thr is littl litratur publishd on dynamic rspons scond drivativ analysis (also calld Hssian matrix analysis). Scond drivativ analysis is mor complicatd than first drivativanalysis. Howvr, th fficincy of th optimization using scond drivativ can b gratly improvd whn th gradint and Hssian matrix can b calculatd fficintly. In this papr, a gradint-hssian matrix-basd algorithm for optimization problm of structurs subjctd to transint loads is dvlopd basd on gradint and Hssian matrix calculations. Th purpos of this papr is to dvlop a gradint-hssian matrix-basd optimization mthod for structurs subjctd to dynamic loads. Th main work of this papr is as follows: First, w formulat an algorithm to calculat dynamic rsponssand thir first and scond drivativs with rspct to dsign variabls. Th algorithm is achivd by dirct diffrntiation and only a singl dynamics analysis, basd on Nwmark-β mthod 8], is rquird. Scond, w formulat th tim-dpndnt structural optimization modl. In this modl, total mass of th structur is th objctiv function. Th dynamic rsponss including strsss of th bam lmnt and nodal displacmnts ar constraints. Third, th tim-dpndnt optimization modl is convrtd into a squnc of appropriatly formd unconstraind intgral mathmatic modls using th intrior pnalty function mthod. Th gradint and Hssian matrixs of th intrior pnalty functions ar also calculatd using th first and scond drivativs of dynamic rsponss. Fourth, Marquardt s mthod 9], a gradint-hssian matrix-basd algorithm, is mployd to solv th unconstraind intgral mathmatic modl. Finally, as th illustration of th dvlopd approach, optimization dsigns of a plan fram subjctd to th horizontal dynamic loads ar dmonstratd. 2. Calculation of first and scond drivativs This sction prsnts two subjcts. Sction 2. introducs th calculations of first and scond drivativs of dynamic rsponss (i.., nodal displacmnt and normal strss) with rspct to dsign variabls of structurs. Sction 2.2 discusss how to calculat first and scond drivativs of structural mass with rspct to structural dsign variabls. 2.. Calculation of first and scond drivativs of dynamic displacmnt and strss Th first and scond drivativs of dynamic rspons of structurs ar th prrquisits of an fficint gradint- Hssian matrix-basd algorithm. W will show hr that, in a singl structural dynamic analysis, th first and scond drivativs of a dynamic rspons can b drivd simultanously. Plan bam lmnt is usd xtnsivly in nginring. Thrfor, th dynamic optimal dsign mthod is dmonstratd with th plan bam lmnt in this work. Th lmnt cross-sction shown in Fig. is H structural-stl shap. Th dsign variabls of lmnt ar d, d 2, d 3 and d 4.

This is achivd numrically by discrtising in tim th continuous tmporal drivativs that appar in th quation. Any on of th tim intgration procdurs can b usd for this purpos.

Th algorithm is achivd by dirct diffrntiation and only a singl dynamics analysis basd on Nwmark-β mthod is rquird. (2) Th intrior pnalty function mthod is usd to transform a constraind problm into an unconstraind problm. So many tim-dpndnt constraints and an objctiv function can b mrgd into a squnc of appropriatly formd unconstraind intgral singl tim-indpndnt functions. Thos unconstraind intgral singl tim-indpndnt functions ar continuous, so th gradint and Hssian matrix calculations ar asir than othr discontinuous transform functions, th augmntd Lagrang multiplir function and xtrior pnalty function. (3) Th gradint-hssian matrix-basd optimization mthod prsntd in this papr has th charactristics of its simplicity, dscnt proprty, xcllnt convrgnc rat nar th optimum, and absnc of a lin sarch. (4) Th numrical rsults show that th optimum dsigns obtaind with th optimization mthod prsntd in this papr ar local solutions, but not global solutions and that th optimization mthod is ffctiv. (5) Th numrical rsults also show that th optimal dsign mthod proposd in this papr is somtims mor fficint than th augmntd Lagrang multiplir mthod. Somtims, it dpnds on th chosn initial dsign.
