Abstract
The main idea of this paper is the application of the material derivative (or speed) method (Zolesio [8]) for a shape optimization problem in the electrochemical machining. We develop the material derivative method for the optimal shape design for systems described by a variational inequality. We introduce a penalty method for the problem and discuss a numerical method using the finite element method.
