The problem of determining the optimal cross‐sectional area function along an extensible arch so as to minimize the total volume under given external pressure, fixed frequency, and geometrical constraints is investigated by use of the Pontryagin maximum principle. The optimal design of a clamped‐clamped arch is presented in detail. Optimization with respect to buckling load is also considered.
