looking for references in sensitivty analysis

[Akbari]

Dear All
Hello

I am working in design sensitivity analysis field for shape optimization problems. nowadays I am writing a journal paper in this field. We need some references about equivalence of discrete and continuum design sensitivity analysis. We want to show the equivalence between discrete and continuum sensitivity in same circumenstances.

I hope the following paper helps.

R. J. Yang and M. E. Botkin, "Comparison Between The Variational And Implicit Differentiation Approaches To Shape Design Sensitivities," AIAA Journal, 24(6): 1027-1032, 1986.

Here is another paper that discusses the issue of equivalence of continuum and discrete methods of shape design sensitivity analysis.

Choi, K.K. and Twu, S-L, "On Equivalence of Continuum and Discrete Methods of Shape Design Sensitivity Analysis," AIAA Journal, Vol. 27, No. 10, 1989, pp.1418-1424.
