Abstract:Abstract:We derive the equation of a free vibrating thin plate whose mass is concentrated at the boundary, namely a Steklov problem for the biharmonic operator. We provide Hadamardtype formulas for the shape derivatives of the corresponding eigenvalues and prove that balls are critical domains under volume constraint. Finally, we prove an isoperimetric inequality for the first positive eigenvalue.
“…We refer to the book for more information on shape optimization problems for the biharmonic operator. We also refer to , where it is discussed the dependence of the eigenvalues of polyharmonic operators upon variation of the mass density, and to where the authors consider Neumann and Steklov‐type eigenvalue problems for the biharmonic operator with particular attention to shape optimization and mass concentration phenomena. We also mention , where the author considers the shape sensitivity problem for the eigenvalues of the biharmonic operator (in particular, also those of problem ) for .…”

“…[28,Example 2.15] where problem (1.3) with τ = 0 is referred to as the Neumann problem for the biharmonic operator. Moreover, we point out that a number of recent papers devoted to the analysis of (1.2) have con rmed that problem (1.2) can be considered as the natural Neumann problem for the biharmonic operator, see [7], [8], [10], [11], [12], [13], [14], [29]. We also refer to [22] for an extensive discussion on boundary value problems for higher order elliptic operators.…”
We consider the biharmonic operator subject to homogeneous boundary conditions of Neumann type on a planar dumbbell domain which consists of two disjoint domains connected by a thin channel. We analyse the spectral behaviour of the operator, characterizing the limit of the eigenvalues and of the eigenprojections as the thickness of the channel goes to zero. In applications to linear elasticity, the fourth order operator under consideration is related to the deformation of a free elastic plate, a part of which shrinks to a segment. In contrast to what happens with the classical second order case, it turns out that the limiting equation is here distorted by a strange factor depending on a parameter which plays the role of the Poisson coe cient of the represented plate.
“…We note that the analysis of the cases α ≤3/2 is in spirit of the paper , which is devoted to the Navier–Stokes system. For recent results concerning domain perturbation problems for higher order operators, we refer to . We believe that our analysis could be carried out in the case of general polyharmonic operators of order 2 m subject to various types of intermediate boundary conditions.…”
