Relative Optimization of Hauger's Problem with Circular Cross-Section.
Abstract
A relative optimization of Hauger's problem with a circular cross-section is accomplished by the application of an adjoint variational principle in conjunction with a generalized Ritz procedure. Consider- able weight reduction are shown to be possible within the bounds of imposed constraints for a two term Ritz approximation of Hauger's problem. The circular cross-section optimization is shown to yield a relatively lower mass than a corresponding procedure for a rectangular cross-section. (Author-PL)
