In this paper a new theorem is formulated
which allows a rigorous proof of the shape differentiability without the usage of the material derivative; the domain expression is automatically obtained and the boundary expression is easy to derive.
Furthermore, the theorem is applied to a cost function which depends on a quasi-linear transmission
problem. Using a Gagliardo penalization the existence of optimal shapes is established.
A mechanical equilibrium problem for a material consisting of two components with dierent densities is considered. Due to the heterogeneous material densities, the
outer shape of the underlying workpiece can be changed by shifting the interface between
the subdomains. In this paper, the problem is modeled as a shape design problem for optimally compensating unwanted workpiece changes. The associated control variable is
the interface. Regularity results for transmission problems are employed for a rigorous
derivation of suitable first-order optimality conditions based on the speed method. The paper concludes with several numerical results based on a spline approximation of the
interface.
