Thermal stresses in chiral plates

摘要

This article is concerned with the linear theory of chiral Cosserat thermoelastic bodies. We investigate the deformation of chiral plates. First, we present the basic equations which govern the deformation of thin plates. Then, we present reciprocity and uniqueness results. In the next section, we establish the instability of solutions whenever the internal energy is negative. We use a semigroup approach to prove the existence of a solution. The deformation of an infinite plate with a circular hole is investigated.
