Existence of a solution for a nonlinearly elastic plane membrane “under tension”

Daniel Coutand (2010)

ESAIM: Mathematical Modelling and Numerical Analysis

A justification of the two-dimensional nonlinear “membrane” equations for a plate made of a Saint Venant-Kirchhoff material has been given by Fox et al. [9] by means of the method of formal asymptotic expansions applied to the three-dimensional equations of nonlinear elasticity. This model, which retains the material-frame indifference of the original three dimensional problem in the sense that its energy density is invariant under the rotations of 3 , is equivalent to finding the critical points...

Existence of solutions for a model of self-gravitating particles with external potential

Andrzej Raczyński (2004)

Banach Center Publications

We study the existence of solutions to a nonlinear parabolic equation describing the temporal evolution of a cloud of self-gravitating particles with a given external potential. The initial data are in spaces of (generalized) pseudomeasures. We prove existence of local and global-in-time solutions, and also a kind of stability of global solutions.
