The Effects of Pressure Loads in the Dimension Reduction of Elasticity Models
摘要
We study the dimensional reduction from three to two dimensions in hyperelastic materials subject to a live load, modeled as a constant pressure force. Our results demonstrate that this loading has a significant impact in higher-order scaling regimes, namely those associated with von Kármán-type theories, where a nontrivial interplay between the elastic energy and the pressure term arises. In contrast, we rigorously show that in lower-order bending regimes, as described by Kirchhoff-type theories, the pressure load does not influence the minimizers. Finally, after identifying the corresponding
