Title:Non-smoothness in the asymptotics of thin shells and propagation of singularities. Hyperbolic case
Subtitle:Mathematical Modelling and Numerical Analysis in Solid Mechanics
Group publication title: Subject and Keywords:hyperbolic systems ; propagation of singularities ; shells
Abstract:We consider the limit behaviour of elastic shells when the relative thickness tends to zero. We address the case when the middle surface has principal curvatures of opposite signs and the boundary conditions ensure the geometrical rigidity. ; The limit problem is hyperbolic, but enjoys peculiarities which imply singularities of unusual intensity. We study these singularities and their propagation for several cases of loading, giving a somewhat complete description of the solution.
