“…Timoshenko's model for deformations of a plate is given by and has been considered by a number of authors. They studied existence, uniqueness, and regularity of solutions as well as the stabilization problem under various damping mechanisms in the equation or at the boundary (see, for instance, , , , , , or and the references therein). More recently, it was prove in that in case M ( s ) = a s , s ≥0(‘ a ’ is a positive constant), model can be obtained as a singular limit of the von Kármán system, which is a nonlinear dynamic model describing large deflections of thin plates.…”
