Optimal design of an elastic beam with a unilateral elastic foundation: semicoercive state problem

Roman Šimeček (2013)

Applications of Mathematics

A design optimization problem for an elastic beam with a unilateral elastic foundation is analyzed. Euler-Bernoulli's model for the beam and Winkler's model for the foundation are considered. The state problem is represented by a nonlinear semicoercive problem of 4th order with mixed boundary conditions. The thickness of the beam and the stiffness of the foundation are optimized with respect to a cost functional. We establish solvability conditions for the state problem and study the existence of...

Optimal multiphase transportation with prescribed momentum

Yann Brenier, Marjolaine Puel (2002)

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

A multiphase generalization of the Monge–Kantorovich optimal transportation problem is addressed. Existence of optimal solutions is established. The optimality equations are related to classical Electrodynamics.

Optimization and pole assignment in control system design

Eric Chu (2001)

International Journal of Applied Mathematics and Computer Science

Some elementary optimization techniques, together with some not so well-known robustness measures and condition numbers, will be utilized in pole assignment. In particular, ''Method 0'' by Kautsky et al. (1985) for optimal selection of vectors is shown to be convergent to a local minimum, with respect to the condition number . This contrasts with the misconception by Kautsky et al. that the method diverges, or the recent discovery by Yang and Tits (1995) that the method converges to stationary points....

Optimization of plunger cavity

Salač, Petr (2013)

Programs and Algorithms of Numerical Mathematics

In the contribution we present a problem of shape optimization of the cooling cavity of a plunger that is used in the forming process in the glass in dustry. A rotationally symmetric system of the mould, the glass piece, the plunger and the plunger cavity is considered. The state problem is given as a stationary heat conduction process. The system includes a heat source representing the glass piece that is cooled from inside by water flowing through the plunger cavity and from outside by the environment surrounding...
