Improved first order approximation method for structural optimizationThis paper examines various first order approximation methods commonly used in structural optimization. It considers several attempts at improving the approximation by using previous analytical results and introduces an adaptation of a first order approximation method using an exponent adjusted to better fit the constraints and reduce the overall number of iterations needed to attain the optimum.
