Remarks on robustness of stability with respect to thickness for elastic structures

M.A. Horn

Department of Mathematics 1326 Stevenson Center Vanderbilt University Nashville, TN 37240


Abstract
Models of elastic systems are often inherently dependent upon small parameters such as thickness. Using the results on the original model to obtain information on the system as the thickness tends to zero can be far from straightforward. An illustration of stability results and discussion of the difficulties that arise in deriving stability for the limiting system are presented.

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.
