Finding the strongest stable weightless column with a follower load and relocatable concentrated masses

Oleg N. Kirillov, Michael L. Overton

We consider the problem of optimal placement of concentrated masses along a massless elastic column that is clamped at one end and loaded by a nonconservative follower force at the…
