Abstract
The paper studies dynamics modelling and control design for elastic systems with distributed parameters. The constitutive laws are specified by an integral equality according with the method of integro-differential relations. The original initial-boundary value problem is reduced to a constrained minimization problem for a nonnegative quadratic functional. A numerical algorithm is developed to solve direct and inverse dynamic problems in linear elasticity based on the Ritz method and finite element technique. The minimized functional is used to define an energy type criteria of solution quality. The efficiency of the approach is demonstrated on the example of a thin rectilinear elastic rod. The control problem is to find motion of a rod from an initial state to a terminal one at a fixed time with the minimal mean energy. The control input is presented by piecewise polynomial displacements on one end of the rod. It is possible to find the exact solution of the problem for a specific relation of the space-time mesh steps. The results of numerical analysis are presented and discussed.
