Abstract
The first variation of a general integral functional, representing either an objective function or a constraint, is evaluated by the adjoint variable method for the sensitivity analysis in a material and load optimization problem for a thermoelastic solid body. Primary and adjoint problems are defined in order to facilitate the derivation in terms of only design function variations.Keywords
