Optimal Control Problem for Two-Layer Elastic Body with Crack

Аннотация

We establish the unique solvability of the equilibrium problem for a two-layer body. One layer contains a crack, whereas the second one is glued along its edge to the first layer in such a way that to cover one of the crack ends. In the case, where the second layer is a rigid plate, we show that the problem with a rigid patch is the limit of problems with elastic patches as the rigidity parameter tends to infinity. We also study the optimal control problem with the exterior forces acting on both layers taken for the control function.
