CASE STUDY SUMMARY
This Case Study demonstrates optimization of parameters of hinged beam under the influence of a number of periodic concentrated forces for excitation and formation of wave motion. The use of mathematical methods that lead to optimization problems is the traditional problems in the design of mechanical devices with optimum characteristics specified criterial (Balandin (1995), Komkov (1972)). However, in some cases, an optimization approach leads to mixed multi-extremal problems of constrained minimization of functionals, which are difficult to solve (Banichuk (1990), Banichuk, and Klimov (1991)). In this case study we consider a model problem of the vibrations of hinged beam under the influence of a number of periodic concentrated forces. The problem is to choose the parameters of force influence (amount of forces, their amplitudes, phases, and points of their application) to install the vibrations of a beam well (according to some criterion) met the specified parameters waveform.
The Case Study solves the problem for a fixed frequency (k = 2.5) with a serial relaxing constraints imposed on the amount of forces (I = 2, 3, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10). Besides we solve the problem to determine the optimal characteristics for 5 forces (I = 5) within a frequency range comprising the resonance (k = 2.1, 2.3, 2.5, 2.7, 2.9, 3.1, 3.3, 3.5, 3.7).
