An equilibrium finite element method in three-dimensional elasticity
The tetrahedral stress element is introduced and two different types of a finite piecewise linear approximation of the dual elasticity problem are investigated on a polyhedral domain. Fot both types a priori error estimates in -norm and in -norm are established, provided the solution is smooth enough. These estimates are based on the fact that for any polyhedron there exists a strongly regular family of decomprositions into tetrahedra, which is proved in the paper, too.

On numerical solution of weight minimization of elastic bodies weakly supporting tension
Shape optimization of a two-dimensional elastic body is considered, provided the material is weakly supporting tension. The problem generalizes that of a masonry dam subjected to its weight and to the hydrostatic pressure. A part of the boundary has to be found so as to minimize a given cost functional. The numerical realization using a penalty method and finite element technique is presented. Some typical results are shown.
On the optimal control problem governed by the equations of von Kármán. I. The homogeneous Dirichlet boundary conditions
A control of the system of nonlinear Kármán's equations for a thin elastic plate with clamped edge is considered. The transversal loading plays the role of the control variable. The set of admissible controls is chosen in a way guaranteeing the unique solvability of the state function with respect to the control variable is proved. A disscussion of uniqueness of the optimal control and some necessary conditions of optimality are presented.
On the optimal control problem governed by the equations of von Kármán. II. Mixed boundary conditions
A control of the system of Kármán's equations for a thin elastic plate is considered. Existence of an optimal transversal load and optimal stress function, respectively, is proven. The set of admissible functions is chosen in a way guaranteeing the unique solvability of the state problem. The differentiability of the state function with respect to the control variable, uniqueness of the optimal control and some necessary conditions of optimality are discussed.
On the optimal control problem governed by the equations of von Kármán. III. The case of an arbitrary large perpendicular load
We shall deal with an optimal control problem for the deffection of a thin elastic plate. We consider the perpendicular load on the plate as the control variable. In contrast to the papers [1], [2], arbitrarily large loads are edmitted. As the unicity of a solution of the state equation is not guaranteed, we consider the cost functional defined on the set of admissible controls and states, and the state equation plays the role of the constraint. The existence of an optimal couple (i.e., control...
