Optimal control of a Timoshenko beam by distributed forces

The present paper considers the problem of optimally controlling the deflections and/or velocities of a damped Timoshenko beam subject to various types of boundary conditions by means of a distributed applied force and moment. An analytic solution is obtained by employing a maximum principle. (Autho...
