OPTIMAL DESIGN OF BOUNDARY CONDITIONS
Abstract
The presented numerical analysis is capable of determining the minimal weight design of a structure together with the optimal place, type and number of the undefined boundary conditions. The presented theoretical analysis gives the basic ideas of the applied finite element optimization method.
