Abstract
Questions raised in this paper are related to an analysis
and design of deformable bodies and structures from brittle
or quasi-brittle materials. We consider the problem
of finding the shape of the body having the smallest possible
mass, subject to appropriate constraints on statical
strength and rigidity and on the number of cycles for fatigue
cracks in the case of cyclic loading. The results of
optimization (analytical and numerical) are presented and
discussed for various structures and structural elements.
