Grierson, Donald E. – Perspectives in Computing, 1983
Discusses the use of sensitivity analysis in structural design computation. Such analysis can predict how response quantities will vary with given design changes. In addition, it can help student engineers better understand why and when particular structural analyses are or should be conducted. (JN)
