On the Optimal Design of Columns Subjected to Circulatory Loads

  • Conference paper
Structural Optimization

Abstract

Present paper is an extended review of results previously obtained by the authors, supplemented by some new results dealing with the Beck - Reut column optimization. The possibility of determination of a shape of column with the critical load higher than considered so far as “optimal” is presented.
