A nonlinear elastic plate model of moderate thickness: Existence, uniqueness and duality. (English) Zbl 0876.73036

Summary: Three problems are solved for a nonlinear model of elastic plates with transverse shear deformations. The material of the plate may be anisotropic. An existence theorem is formulated and proved for a class of boundary conditions, together with the uniqueness theorem for small loadings. Finally, we derive the dual problem and discuss the minimax or Lagrangian approach.
