Abstract

Shape optimization problem of a hinged-clamped beam that is subjected to a concentrated load is reconsidered. Previous report had said that the actual most suitable form within the same volume exists only in the case that the load was in a hinged end side of the span. In this paper, the problem is solved by an iterative method that uses numerical integration. Through numerical examples the characteristics of the optimum solution and the problems in numerical calculation are discussed.
