A comparison of models of a folded plate

Abstract
Two mathematical models of the junction region between two elastic plates will be compared. One of the models is due to H. Le Dret and was derived in the spirit of the Ciarlet-Destuynder method of asymptotic expansions. The other utilizes a classical Lagrangian formulation and is based on a certain type of geometric modeling. It is shown that in the case of a right-angle folded plate with "simple clamping,'' the two approaches give rise to one and the same model.

What is OpenURL?

The OpenURL standard is a protocol for transmission of metadata describing the resource that you wish to access. An OpenURL link contains article metadata and directs it to the OpenURL server of your choice. The OpenURL server can provide access to the resource and also offer complementary services (specific search engine, export of references...). The OpenURL link can be generated by different means.

If your librarian has set up your subscription with an OpenURL resolver, OpenURL links appear automatically on the abstract pages.
You can define your own OpenURL resolver with your EDPS Account. In this case your choice will be given priority over that of your library.
You can use an add-on for your browser (Firefox or I.E.) to display OpenURL links on a page (see http://www.openly.com/openurlref/). You should disable this module if you wish to use the OpenURL server that you or your library have defined.
