The paper deals with some aspects of structural sensitivity analysis in shell structures. The finite element method has been used for modeling of cylindrical structure. The direct differentiation method has been applied in solution of the problem considered. The examples of sensitivity have been presented concerning displacement sensitivity to variations of thickness in cylindrical shell structural element clamped at boundaries under uniformly distributed pressure. The algorithms presented have been prepared and programmed in the POLSAP code system.
