This paper presents a new scheme for the first- and second-order design sensitivity analysis of the two-dimensional elastic problem by using Trefftz method. In the Trefftz method, the physical quantities are approximated by superposition of regular T-complete functions. Therefore, direct differentiation of the approximate expressions with respect to design parameters leads to the regular expressions of the sensitivities. The present schemes are applied to some examples in order to confirm the validity.
