The Relative Optimization of Hauger's Problem with Both Internal and External Damping.

Abstract

The relative mass optimization of a nonconservatively loaded cantilever beam with internal and external damping is discussed with numerical results given for a beam with a linear distributed tangential load acting along the center line of the beam. In going to a Rosenbrock optimization routine with a minimum tip thickness constraint imposed, it was quite clear that mass ratio reductions in the range 14.9% to 38% are possible and that the values of internal and external damping appear influential in determining just how much of a mass reduction is possible.
