description

The optimal shape design of a two dimensional body on a rigid foundation is analyzed. The problem is how to find the boundary part of the body where the unilateral boundary conditions are assumed in such a way that a certain energy integral (total potential energy, for example) will be minimized. It is assumed that the material of the body is elastic. Some remarks will be given concerning the design of an elastic perfectly plastic body. Numerical examples will be given.
