Justification of a Two-Dimensional Nonlinear Shell Model of Koiter’s Type

A two-dimensional nonlinear shell model “of Koiter’s type” has recently been proposed by the first author. It is shown here that, according to two mutually exclusive sets of assumptions bearing on the associated manifold of admissible inextensional displacements, the leading term of a formal asymptotic expansion of the solution of this two-dimensional model, with the thickness as the “small” parameter, satisfies either the two-dimensional equations of a nonlinearly elastic “membrane” shell or those of a nonlinearly elastic “flexural” shell. These conclusions being identical to those recently drawn by B. Miara, then by V. Lods and B. Miara, for the leading term of a formal asymptotic expansion of the solution of the equations of three-dimensional nonlinear elasticity, again with the thickness as the “small” parameter, the nonlinear shell model of Koiter’s type considered here is thus justified, at least formally.     

A REMARK ON FORMAL MODELS FOR NONLINEARLY ELASTIC MEMBRANE SHELLS

This paper gives all the two-dimensional membrane models obtained from formal asymptotic analysis of the three-dimensional geometrically exact nonlinear model of a thin elastic shell made with a Saint Venant-Kirchhoff material. Therefore, the other models can be quoted as flexural nonlinear ones. The author also gives the formal equations solved by the associated stress tensor and points out that only one of those models leads, by linearization, to the “classical“ linear limiting membrane model, whose justification has already been established by a convergence theorem.     

An asymptotic analysis method for the linearly shell theory

In this paper, we consider a linearly elastic shell, i.e. a three-dimensional linearly elastic body with a small thickness denoted by 2ε, which is clamped along its part of the lateral boundary and subjected to the regular loads. In the linear case, one can use the two-dimensional models of Ciarlet or Koiter to calculate the displacement for the shell. Some error estimates between the approximate solution of these models and the three-dimensional displacement vector field of a flexural or membrane shell have been obtained. Here we give a new model for a linear and nonlinear shell, prove that there exists a unique solution U of the two-dimensional variational problem and construct a three-dimensional approximate solutions UKT(x,ξ) in terms of U: We also provide the error estimates between our model and the three-dimensional displacement vector field :‖u-UKT‖1,Ω≤C∈r,r=3/2, an elliptic membrane, r = 1/2, a general membrane, where C is a constant dependent only upon the data‖u‖3,Ω,‖UKT‖3,Ω,θ.     

ASYMPTOTIC ANALYSIS OF SHELLS VIA г-CONVERGENCE

IntroductionThe deformations of an elastic body submitted to forces are governed by threedimensional mathematical equations. This means that the unknown, which is the vectorformed by the components of the displacement, depends on three vaxiables. however,when the elajstic body is "thin" in one dimension, for instance when it is a shell, onecan use two-dimensional shell models, such as those of Naghdi, Koiter, BudianskySanders etc. Thus, the important point is to explain which model is the "g…

Asymptotic Behavior of a Structure Made by a Plate and a Straight Rod

This paper is devoted to describing the asymptotic behavior of a structure made by a thin plate and a thin perpendicular rod in the framework of nonlinear elasticity. The authors scale the applied forces in such a way that the level of the total elastic energy leads to the Von-K′arm′an’s equations (or the linear model for smaller forces) in the plate and to a one-dimensional rod-model at the limit. The junction conditions include in particular the continuity of the bending in the plate and the stretching in the rod at the junction.
