Abstract: | AbstractWe study a problem that models the dynamics of an elastic beam vibrating between two rigid stops, so we use the Signorini non-penetration condition to describe the contact process. This allows for impacts and velocity jumps. Motivated by the need to better understand this kind of dynamics, we introduce a new formulation of the problem in the framework of vector-valued measures, somewhat similar to the case of a discrete mechanical system. We prove the existence of a strong solution and establish the main properties of the reaction shear stress that acts on the system at impacts, which is a measure with a singular part. |
