Asymptotic behavior for a dissipative plate equation in with periodic coefficients.
We investigate bifurcation in the solution set of the von Kármán equations on a disk Ω ⊂ ℝ² with two positive parameters α and β. The equations describe the behaviour of an elastic thin round plate lying on an elastic base under the action of a compressing force. The method of analysis is based on reducing the problem to an operator equation in real Banach spaces with a nonlinear Fredholm map F of index zero (to be defined later) that depends on the parameters α and β. Applying the implicit function...
The paper deals with the analysis of generalized von Kármán equations which describe stability of a thin circular clamped viscoelastic plate of constant thickness under a uniform compressive load which is applied along its edge and depends on a real parameter, and gives results for the linearized problem of stability of viscoelastic plates. An exact definition of a bifurcation point for the generalized von Kármán equations is given. Then relations between the critical points of the linearized problem...
Four optimal design problems and a weight minimization problem are considered for elastic plates with small bending rigidity, resting on a unilateral elastic foundation, with inner rigid obstacles and a friction condition on a part of the boundary. The state problem is represented by a variational inequality and the design variables influence both the coefficients and the set of admissible state functions. If some input data are allowed to be uncertain a new method of reliable solutions is employed....
In addition to the optimal design and worst scenario problems formulated in a previous paper [3], approximate optimization problems are introduced, making use of the finite element method. The solvability of the approximate problems is proved on the basis of a general theorem of [3]. When the mesh size tends to zero, a subsequence of any sequence of approximate solutions converges uniformly to a solution of the continuous problem.
