Optimal Plastic Design of Beams with Unspecified Actions or Reactions
Abstract Optimization of unspecified forces illustrates some interesting aspects of optimal design. Even when the specific cost function is convex, a problem with movable supports becomes usually non-convex and hence all solutions satisfying the necessary conditions for optimality must be investigated. Moreover, some segments of the beam may take on a zero cross-section in the optimal solution (see Fig. 3.4e, for example) and thus the designer is faced with a simple type of layout problem.
