The impact of difference convex optimization techniques on structural analysis algorithms for nonsmooth and non-convex problems is investigated in this paper. Algorithms for the numerical solutions are proposed and studied. The relation to more general optimization techniques and to computational mechanics algorithms is also discussed. The theory is illustrated by a composite beam delamination example.
