Optimum Design of Structures Made of Elastic-Plastic Materials

  • Conference paper

Summary

The shape optimum design for elastic-plastic structures loaded by fixed and variable repeated forces is considered. Formulated variational problems with unknown boundaries and partial derivatives are investigated by the methods of distributed parameter control theory. The necessary optimality conditions for unknown boundaries are obtained taking into account load carrying capacity and shakedown constraints. The derived sensitivity analysis formulas are applied to the different problems of elastic-plastic design.
