The optimal height of the web under minimum volume of still as a cost function is determined. In particular the implicit and explicit conditions of state variables at characteristic points of axis of symmetry under different loading schemes are presented.}, doi = {10.4467/2353737XCT.17.092.6568}, url = {https://ejournals.eu/en/journal/czasopismo-techniczne/article/optimal-design-of-structural-elements-as-a-control-theory-problem} }
