A disk rolling down a given slope is taken as a simple example, for which it is the goal of the optimization to shape the rolling contour of the disk such that it takes a minimum time to cover a certain distance. The shape of the sontour is described by its radius of curvature. The governing equations of motion result from the kinematics of relative motion and the Nowton-Euler formalism. Three different kinds of spirals are defined and optimized.}, language = {en} } @article{EberhardHuBestle, author = {Eberhard, Peter and Hu, B. and Bestle, Dieter}, title = {Longitudinal Wave Propagation in Multiple Impacted Rods}, language = {en} }
