Polarized Hessian Covariant: Contribution to Pattern Formation in the Föppl-von Kármán Shell Equations

چکیده
We analyze the structure of the Föppl-von Kármán shell equations of linear elastic shell theory using surface geometry and classical invariant theory. This equation describes the buckling of a thin shell subjected to a compressive load. In particular, we analyze the role of polarized Hessian covariant, also known as second transvectant, in linear elastic shell theory and its connection to minimal surfaces. We show how the terms of the Föppl-von Kármán equations related to in-plane stretching can be linearized using the hodograph transform and relate this result to the integrability of the classical membrane equations. Finally, we study the effect of the nonlinear second transvectant term in the Föppl-von Kármán equations on the buckling configurations of cylinders.

The Energy of Crumpled Sheets in Föppl-von Kármán Plate Theory
Abstract. We study investigate a long, thin rectangular elastic membrane that is bent through an angle 2α, using the Föppl–von Kármán ansatz in a geometrically linear setting. We study the associated variational problem, and show the existence of a minimizer for the elastic energy. We also prove rigorous upper and lower bounds for the minimum energy of this configuration in terms of the plate t...

Nonlinear vibration of a fluid-filled single walled carbon nanotube (SWCNT) with simply supported ends is investigated in this paper based on Von-Karman’s geometric nonlinearity and the simplified Donnell’s shell theory. The effects of the small scales are considered by using the nonlocal theory and the Galerkin's procedure is used to discretize partial differential equations of the governing i...
