The paper discusses two uses of the semianalytical methods for nonlinear sensitivity analysis. First, the application to noncritical response is analyzed. It is shown that the semianalytical method is equivalent to a particular form of the overall finite difference approach. It is concluded that the difference between overall finite differences and the semianalytical approach is blurred for the case of nonlinear static response. Next, the application of the semianalytical method to calculating sensitivities of limit loads is discussed. A formulation that is easy to implement in general purpose finite element programs is derived. Three examples are used to demonstrate the application of the formulation and to explore its accuracy.
