APPROXIMATION OF THIN THREE-DIMENSIONAL PLATES WITH SMOOTH LATERAL SURFACE BY POLYGONAL PLATES

摘要

In a thin isotropic homogeneous three-dimensional plate of thickness h, we consider the limit passage of elastic fields as h → +0. It is assumed that the connected component Γ_N of the boundary of the median cross section ω is a broken line with links of length ah, where a ＞ 0 is a fixed parameter. We consider the Lame equations with the Neumann condition (a free surface) on the plate bases, the Dirichlet condition (a rigidly clamped surface) on a smooth part, and some linear contact conditions on a ribbed part of the lateral surface. For the solution to the boundary value problem we obtain an asymptotic expansion with different boundary layers. In the two-dimensional model, new boundary conditions, different from the contact ones, arise on the limit smooth contour Γ_0, thereby for the spatial elasticity problem, we confirm the Babuska paradox caused by linear boundary conditions on the plate edge, but not unilateral constraints of Signorini type.
