Abstract

Using the maximum principle of Ref. 1, a procedure to find numerical solutions of certain optimal control problems is given. As an application of this procedure, the optimal control of an antisymmetric angle-ply laminate is worked out in detail. Numerical solutions are given in the form of graphs.
