Stability of a nonlinear thermoelastic plate

The problem of loss of stability of a circular plate under lateral compression in an inhomogeneous temperature field is considered. The theory of superposition of a small deformation on a finite one is used. A similar approach to the study of the equilibrium bifurcation of nonlinear thermoelastic bodies was used in the following works.

Phragmén-Lindelöf Alternative Results for a Class of Thermoelastic Plate

The spatial properties of solutions for a class of thermoelastic plate with biharmonic operator were studied. The energy method was used. We constructed an energy expression. A differential inequality which the energy expression was controlled by a second-order differential inequality is deduced. The Phragme´n-Lindelo¨f alternative results of the solutions were obtained by solving the inequality. These results show that the Saint-Venant principle is also valid for the hyperbolic–hyperbolic coupling equations. Our results can been seen as a version of symmetry in inequality for studying the Phragme´n-Lindelo¨f alternative results.

FRACTIONAL APPROXIMATIONS OF THERMOELASTIC PLATE SYSTEMS

Let $\Omega$ be a bounded domain in $\mathbb{R}^N$ with $N\geqslant 2$, which boundary $\partial\Omega$ is assumed to be a $\mathcal{C}^4$-hypersurface. In this paper we consider the initial-boundary value problem associated with the following thermoelastic plate system \[ \begin{cases} \partial_t^2u +\Delta^2 u+\Delta\theta=f(u),\ & x\in\Omega,\ t>0, \\ \partial_t\theta-\Delta \theta-\Delta \partial_tu=0,\ & x\in\Omega,\ t>0, \end{cases} \] subject to boundary conditions \[ \begin{cases} u=\Delta u=0,\ & x\in\partial\Omega,\ t>0,\\ \theta=0,\ & x\in\partial\Omega,\ t>0, \end{cases} \] and initial conditions \[ u(x,0)=u_0(x),\ \partial_tu(x,0)=v_0(x)\ \mbox{and}\ \theta(x,0)=\theta_0(x),\ x\in\Omega. \] We calculate explicit the fractional powers of the thermoelastic plate operator associated with this system via Balakrishnan integral formula and we present a fractional approximated system. We obtain a result of local well-posedness of the thermoelastic plate system and of its fractional approximations via geometric theory of semilinear parabolic systems.

Decay properties for evolution-parabolic coupled systems related to thermoelastic plate equations

In this paper, we consider the Cauchy problem for a family of evolution-parabolic coupled systems, which are related to the classical thermoelastic plate equations containing non-local operators. By using diagonalization procedure and WKB analysis, we derive representation of solutions in the phase space. Then, sharp decay properties in a framework of $L^p-L^q$ are investigated via these representations. Particularly, some thresholds for the regularity-loss type decay properties are found.
