Bernadette Miara (Universite Paris-Est)
The obstacle problem for a shallow membrane-Justification and stability (ENGLISH)
[ Abstract ]
This lecture is twofold.
In the first part we recall the difference between the three-dimensional unilateral contact problem (the so-called Signorini problem) and its two-dimensional limit (the obstacle problem) in the case of an elastic shell as it was considered in [1] and [2].
In the second part we consider a simplified set of equations which describe the equilibrium equations of a shallow membrane (as justified in [3]) in contact with a plane obstacle and we study the stability of the contact zone with respect to small changes of the applied force, which amounts to studying the variation of the boundary of this contact zone. This kind of stability was first established in the scalar case for the Laplacian operator [4] then for the biharmonic operator [5]. The interest of the vectorial case considered here is due to the coupling effects between the in-plane and the transverse components of the displacement field in the framework of linearized Marguerre-von K´arm´an shell model.
This is a joint work with Alain L´eger, CNRS, Laboratoire de M´ecanique et d’Acoustique, 13402, Marseille, France.
