Abstract
In this paper a unified numerical design algorithm is
described which enables the selection of the shape of the
meridian of shell of revolution (nonlocal stress concentration
problem) or the shape of the boundary of the notches in the
shell (local stress concentration problem) necessary to keep
the peak of effective stresses to minimum as it is possible.
The design procedure is the combination of the Computer
Aided Geometrical Design (CAGD) mathematical methods
tor the shape definition, of the Finite Element Method (FEM)
used for the analysis of the stress field. the Direct Sensitivity
Analysis (DSA) for the objective and stress gradient
computations, which is related to the analysis method, helped
by the Sequential Linear Programming (SLP) used as
optimisation procedure.
