Abstract: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 consi… Show more

“…In [19] the limit spectrum of order h 2 is studied, starting from the problem of three-dimensional homogeneous isotropic elasticity, while in [21] a quantitative analysis is provided for the same problem for two different spectral scalings in the corresponding subspaces (membrane and bending). In [29] an asymptotic analysis of the spectrum is carried out starting from a threedimensional heterogeneous plate that is possibly heterogeneous in the transversal direction, while in [23] the authors study a Reissner-Mindlin plate with a mass concentrated at the origin and provide an asymptotic analysis of its spectrum in different regimes.…”
We analyse the behaviour of thin composite plates whose material properties vary periodically in-plane and possess a high degree of contrast between the individual components. Starting from the equations of three-dimensional linear elasticity that describe soft inclusions embedded in a relatively stiff thin-plate matrix, we derive the corresponding asymptotically equivalent two-dimensional plate equations. Our approach is based on recent results concerning decomposition of deformations with bounded scaled symmetrised gradients. Using an operator-theoretic approach, we calculate the limit resolvent and analyse the associated limit spectrum and effective evolution equations. We obtain our results under various asymptotic relations between the size of the soft inclusions (equivalently, the period) and the plate thickness as well as under various scaling combinations between the contrast, spectrum, and time. In particular, we demonstrate significant qualitative differences between the asymptotic models obtained in different regimes.

We consider a vibrating membrane occupying a domain Ω of R 2 , composed of two materials, with very different densities. These materials fill two domains Ω 1 and Ω 2 of R 2 , and Γ is the interface between them: Γ = ∂Ω 1 ∩ ∂Ω 2 . We look at the associated spectral problem. We prove that there are modes which concentrate in a small neighborhood of Γ, the whispering gallery modes. We address the cases where Ω 2 , the part with negligible mass, is either a bounded or unbounded domain (Ω 2 = R 2 −Ω 1 ), and the case where Ω 1 is a concentrated mass: Ω 1 = εB, with ε → 0, and the density in Ω 1 very much higher than elsewhere.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
