Global regularity of the elastic fields of a power-law model on Lipschitz domains

摘要

In this paper, we study the global regularity of the displacement and stress fields of a nonlinear elastic model of power-law type. It is assumed that the underlying domains are Lipschitz domains which satisfy an additional geometric condition near those points, where the type of the boundary conditions changes. The proof of the global regularity result relies on a difference quotient technique. Finally, a global regularity result for the stress fields of the elastic, perfect plastic Hencky model is derived. This model appears as a limit model of the power-law model. Copyright (C) 2006 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
