On the Optimal Shape of a Rotating Rod
Keyword(s):
By using Pontryagin’s maximum principle we determine the shape of the lightest rotating rod, stable against buckling. It is shown that the cross-sectional area function is determined from the solution of a nonlinear boundary value problem. Three variational principles for this boundary value problem are formulated and a first integral is constructed. The optimal shape of a rod is determined by numerical integration.
