contents In this paper, we consider a control/shape optimization problem of a nonlinear acoustics-structure interaction model of PDEs, whereby acoustic wave propagation in a chamber is governed by the Westervelt equation, and the motion of the elastic part of the boundary is governed by a 4th order Kirchoff equation. We consider a quadratic objective functional capturing the tracking of prescribed desired states, with three types of controls: 1) An excitation control represented by prescribed Neumann data for the pressure on the excitation part of the boundary 2) A mechanical control represented by a forcing function in the Kirchoff equations and 3) Shape of the excitation part of the boundary represented by a graph function. Our main result is the existence of solutions to the minimization problem, and the characterization of the optimal states through an adjoint system of PDEs derived from the first-order optimality conditions.
