The paper is concerned with an optimal control problem governed by the rate-independent system of quasi-static perfect elasto-plasticity. The objective is to optimize the stress field by controlling the displacement at prescribed parts of the boundary. The control thus enters the system in the Dirichlet boundary conditions. Therefore, the safe load condition is automatically fulfilled so that the system admits a solution, whose stress field is unique. This gives rise to a well defined control-to-state operator, which is continuous but not Gâteaux differentiable. The control-to-state map is therefore regularized, first by means of the Yosida regularization resp. viscous approximation and then by a second smoothing in order to obtain a smooth problem. The approximation of global minimizers of the original non-smooth optimal control problem is shown and optimality conditions for the regularized problem are established. A numerical example illustrates the feasibility of the smoothing approach.

Keywords: Optimal control of variational inequalities, perfect plasticity, rate-independent systems, Yosida regularization, first-order necessary optimality conditions, Dirichlet control problems.
