The energy of a Von Kármán circular plate is described by a nonlocal nonconvex one-dimensional functional depending on the thickness ε. Here we perform the asymptotic analysis via Γ-convergence as the parameter ε goes to zero.

We consider a dynamical one-dimensional nonlinear von Kármán model depending on one parameter ε > 0 and study its weak limit as ε → 0. We analyse various boundary conditions and prove that the nature of the limit system is very sensitive to them. We prove that, depending on the type of boundary condition we consider, the nonlinearity of Timoshenko's model may vanish.

We derive a hierarchy of plate theories for heterogeneous multilayers from three dimensional nonlinear elasticity by means of Γ-convergence. We allow for layers composed of different materials whose constitutive assumptions may vary significantly in the small film direction and which also may have a (small) pre-stress. By computing the Γ-limits in the energy regimes in which the scaling of the pre-stress is non-trivial, we arrive at linearised Kirchhoff, von Kármán, and fully linear plate theories, respectively, which contain an additional spontaneous curvature tensor. The effective (homogenised) elastic constants of the plates will turn out to be given in terms of the moments of the pointwise elastic constants of the materials.

AbstractWe consider a two-dimensional model of viscoelastic von Kármán plates in the Kelvin’s-Voigt’s rheology derived from a three-dimensional model at a finite-strain setting in Friedrich and Kružík (Arch Ration Mech Anal 238: 489–540, 2020). As the width of the plate goes to zero, we perform a dimension-reduction from 2D to 1D and identify an effective one-dimensional model for a viscoelastic ribbon comprising stretching, bending, and twisting both in the elastic and the viscous stress. Our arguments rely on the abstract theory of gradient flows in metric spaces by Sandier and Serfaty (Commun Pure Appl Math 57:1627–1672, 2004) and complement the $$\Gamma $$ Γ -convergence analysis of elastic von Kármán ribbons in Freddi et al. (Meccanica 53:659–670, 2018). Besides convergence of the gradient flows, we also show convergence of associated time-discrete approximations, and we provide a corresponding commutativity result.
