Mathematical Elasticity: Volume II: Theory of Plates Volume 27

by Philippe G. Ciarlet

The objective of Volume II is to show how asymptotic methods, with the thickness as the small parameter, indeed provide a powerful means of justifying two-dimensional plate theories. More specifically, without any recourse to any a priori assumptions of a geometrical or mechanical nature, it is shown that in the linear case, the three-dimensional displacements, once properly scaled, converge in H 1 towards a limit that satisfies the well-known two-dimensional...
