Wr. Bielski et Jj. Telega, EXISTENCE OF SOLUTIONS TO OBSTACLE PROBLEMS FOR LINEAR AND NONLINEAR ELASTIC PLATES, Mathematical and computer modelling, 28(4-8), 1998, pp. 55-66
Obstacle contact problems for geometrically linear and nonlinear elast
ic plates were studied, provided that friction is negligible. Three li
near and two nonlinear plate models were investigated. Unilateral cont
act with a rigid obstacle occurs through one of the faces of a plate.
Already for linear models such contact problems lead, in general, to n
onconvex minimization problems. Existence theorems formulated for plat
e models were considered. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights re
