Locomotion of a flexible rack feeder consisting of two viscoelastic beams clumped on a mobile carriage are studied. The optimal control problem is to move the rack feeder from its initial state to terminal one in a fixed time and to minimize the mean mechanical energy of the system. The solution of the problem is based on the method of integro‐differential relations. (© 2016 Wiley‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)
