A Consistent Design Sensitivity Analysis Formulation for Systems With History-Dependent Response

Design sensitivity analysis is the determination of the rate of change with respect to design parameters of a given performance measure which generally can be cast in the form of a functional. The functional typically exhibits both explicit dependence and implicit dependence (via the response) on the design. Sensitivity analysis is used in structural optimization, identification problems, and reliability analysis.
