Abstract
Abstract We consider an optimal control problem where the state equations are a coupled hyperbolic–elliptic system. This system arises in elastodynamics with piezoelectric effects—the elastic stress tensor is a function of elastic displacement and electric potential. The electric flux acts as the control variable and bound constraints on the control are considered. We develop a complete analysis for the state equations and the control problem. The requisite regularity on the control, to show the well-posedness of the state equations, is enforced using the cost functional. We rigorously derive the first-order necessary and sufficient conditions using adjoint equations and further study their well-posedness. For spatially discrete (time-continuous) problems, we show the convergence of our numerical scheme. Three-dimensional numerical experiments are provided showing convergence properties of a fully discrete method and the practical applicability of our approach.
