Abstract
The optimal control theory is used to study the asymptotic behavior of elastoviscoplastic structures under cyclic loading. With this approach the asymptotic state is solution of a minimization problem. For practical applications an approximate problem is introduced consistently with a spatial discretization. In this framework, the only stationary points of the functional to minimize are the global minima.
