Abstract
Consider optimal design of a cantilever beam clamped at the origin of Cartesian coordinate system (oxyz) and loaded by static transverse forces q acting in the plane xy. We suppose that the beam in its natural unloaded state is placed along the x-axis and that it has a rectangular cross-section with height h = h(x) and width b = const. The beam has length l. The function h = h(x), determining the shape of the beam, is the unknown variable and is to be found in the design optimization process.
