Abstract:The method of matched asymptotic expansions is used to find a homogenized problem whose solution is an approximation to the solution of a mixed periodic boundary value problem in the theory of bending of thin elastic plates. A critical size for the fixed parts of the boundary is found such that the boundary condition of the homogenized problem is an intermediate case between that for the clamped edge plate and that for the free boundary plate.
“…where v i; denotes @v i =@x , e ÿ (v)= 1 2 (v ; ÿ + v ÿ; ), and a ÿ are the elastic coe cients, a ÿ = ÿ + ( ÿ + ÿ ) with + ¿0 and ¿0 (see References [25,18,26], for example). We denote by V the space (H 1 0 ( )) 3 with the scalar product deÿned by E(·; ·).…”
SUMMARYWe consider the vibrations of an elastic plate that contains a small region whose size depends on a small parameter . The density is of order O( −m ) in the small region, the concentrated mass, and it is of order O(1) outside; m is a positive parameter. The thickness plate h being ÿxed, we describe the asymptotic behaviour, as → 0, of the eigenvalues and eigenfunctions of the corresponding spectral problem, depending on the value of m: Low-and high-frequency vibrations are studied for m¿2. We also consider the case where the thickness plate h depends on ; then, di erent values of m are singled out.
