Review text

The following dynamical shape control problem for a thin rod of nonlinear elastic material is presented: Suppose a thin rod performs transversal vibrations which shall be damped out and suppose the left part of the rod is fixed in such a way that it can be moved back and forth within the fixation so that the length of the free part of the rod can be controlled dynamically. The objective is to move the rod in such a way that its tip is brought to rest at a prescribed point at a given time instant \(T\). The state equations and the cost functional of the above-mentioned optimal control problem are formulated. A transformation of the state equations and the cost function are introduced to transfrom the problem onto the fixed domain. The adjoint state equations and the optimality condition are derived. For the entire collection see [Zbl 0754.00014].
