A max-min problem in the realm of optimum beam design is formulated and thoroughly investigated from a dynamic programming point of view. It is shown that the conditions of optimality can be directly derived from the Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman equation of the process. The classical Euler-Lagrange equat

The main purpose of this paper concerns the applicability of a particular numerical procedure that is an alternative to the finite element method (F.E.M.) for a simplified dynamic analysis of plane aeronautical structures. Cantilever rectangular or trapezoidal plates with constant or variable thickn
We investigate the performance of a sequential programming method, based on the linear matching method, for the direct evaluation of limit loads and shakedown limits for elastic-perfectly plastic bodies subjected to complex histories of loading. This end is achieved by solving a sequence of linear p
A decoupling procedure is described for the modal analysis of structures in contact with incompressible fluids. According to this procedure, the problem can be decoupled in two main subproblems, each defined only on the structure or the fluid domain. First, a set of basis vectors for the structural
