Abstract
This paper deals with the proper distribution of material in a structure whose available mass decreases in the working time, i.e. part of the structure undergoes degradation and loses mass. This means, the other part of the structure must bear the load. Therefore the structure's mass should be redistributed to replace the degraded material. The present analysis is carried out for the so-called smart structures which are able to shift their mass within a certain previously fixed area and this research falls within the analysing and decision system. Minimization of the mean compliance under the mass constraints with the artificial approach for updating the material properties is used [1], [2]. As a numerical realization of the problem FEM examples are presented. (© 2004 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)
