A minimization of a cost functional with respect to a part of a boundary is considered for an elasto-plastic axisymmetric body obeying Hencky's law. The principle of Haar-Kármán and piecewise linear stress approximations are used to solve the state problem. A convergence result and the existence of an optimal boundary is proved.

Optimal shape design problem for a deformable body in contact with a rigid foundation is studied. The body is made from material obeying a nonlinear Hooke’s law. We study the existence of an optimal shape as well as its approximation with the finite element method. Practical realization with nonlinear programming is discussed. A numerical example is included.

Shape optimization problems are optimal design problems in which the shape of the boundary plays the role of a design, i.e. the unknown part of the problem. Such problems arise in structural mechanics, acoustics, electrostatics, fluid flow and other areas of engineering and applied science. The mathematical theory of such kind of problems has been developed during the last twelve years. Recently the theory has been extended to cover also situations in which the behaviour of the system...

The shape of the meridian curve of an elastic body is optimized within a class of Lipschitz functions. Only axisymmetric mixed boundary value problems are considered. Four different cost functionals are used and approximate piecewise linear solutions defined on the basis of a finite element technique. Some convergence and existence results are derived by means of the theory of the appropriate weighted Sobolev spaces.
