Using the ERFI Function in the Problem of the Shape Optimization of the Compressed Rod

The shape of the optimal rod determined in the work meets the condition of mass conservation in relation to the reference rod. At the same time, this rod shows a significant increase in resistance to axial force. In the examples presented, this increase was 80% and 117%, respectively, for rods with...

Description
Summary:The shape of the optimal rod determined in the work meets the condition of mass conservation in relation to the reference rod. At the same time, this rod shows a significant increase in resistance to axial force. In the examples presented, this increase was 80% and 117%, respectively, for rods with slenderness of 125 and 175. A practical benefit from the use of compression rods of the proposed shapes is clearly visible.
