Optimal control problems for finite-strain elasticity are considered. An inner pressure or an inner fiber tension is acting as a driving force. Such internal forces are typical, for instance, for the motion of heliotropic plants, and for muscle tissue. Non-standard objective functions relevant for elasticity problems are introduced. Optimality conditions are derived on a formal basis, and a limited-memory quasi-Newton algorithm for their solution is formulated in function space. Numerical experiments confirm the expected mesh-independent performance.
The conjugate gradient and minimal residual methods for the solution of linear systems Ax = b are considered. The operator A is bounded and self-adjoint and maps a Hilbert space X into its dual X∗. This setting is natural for variational problems such as those involving linear partial differential equations. The derivation of the two methods in Hilbert spaces shows that the choice of a preconditioner is equivalent to the choice of the scalar product in X.
Object of our interest is an elastic body Ω ⊂ ℝ3 which we can deform by applying a tension along certain given short fibers inside the body. The deformation of the body is desribed by a hyperelastic model with polyconvex energy density and a special energy functional for the tension along the fibers. We seek to apply (possibly large) deformations to the body so that a desired shape is obtained. To this end, we formulate an optimal control problem for the fiber tension field.
