Review text

The paper deals with a stress sensitivity analysis in the absence or presence of elements. By introducing an adjoint virtual system, the calculation of stress sensitivity does not increase too much computational cost. According to the negative or positive values of stress sensitivity, the authors divide the structure into two regions. Removing elements in the negative sensitivity region or adding elements in the positive sensitivity region leads to stress reduction in a specific element. This procedure can also be used to minimize the maximum stress.
