Thermal Effects in a Two-Dimensional Hybrid Elastic Structure

AbstractIn this paper we consider a two-dimensional hybrid thermo-elastic structure consisting of a thermo-elastic plate which has a beam attached to its free end. We show that the initial-boundary-value problem for the interactive system of partial differential equations which take account of the mechanical strains/stresses and the thermal stresses in the plate and the beam, can be associated with a uniformly bounded evolution operator. It turns out that the interplay of parabolic dynamics due to the thermal effects in the hybrid structure and the hyperbolic dynamics associated with the elasticity of the structure yields analyticity for the entire system. This result yields solvability for the problem under optimal initial freedom of the displacement, velocity, and temperature in the plate and the beam, while uniform stability is readily available

Asymptotic stability and blow up for a semilinear damped wave equation with dynamic boundary conditions

In this paper we consider a multi-dimensional wave equation with dynamic boundary conditions, related to the Kelvin-Voigt damping. Global existence and asymptotic stability of solutions starting in a stable set are proved. Blow up for solutions of the problem with linear dynamic boundary conditions with initial data in the unstable set is also obtained

A global attractor for a fluid--plate interaction model accounting only for longitudinal deformations of the plate

We study asymptotic dynamics of a coupled system consisting of linearized 3D Navier--Stokes equations in a bounded domain and the classical (nonlinear) elastic plate equation for in-plane motions on a flexible flat part of the boundary. The main peculiarity of the model is the assumption that the transversal displacements of the plate are negligible relative to in-plane displacements. This kind of models arises in the study of blood flows in large arteries. Our main result states the existence of a compact global attractor of finite dimension. We also show that the corresponding linearized system generates exponentially stable $C_0$-semigroup. We do not assume any kind of mechanical damping in the plate component. Thus our results means that dissipation of the energy in the fluid due to viscosity is sufficient to stabilize the system.Comment: 18 page

Heat equation with dynamical boundary conditions of reactive-diffusive type

This paper deals with the heat equation posed in a bounded regular domain coupled with a dynamical boundary condition of reactive-diffusive type, involving the Laplace-Beltrami operator. We prove well-posedness of the problem together with regularity of the solutions.Comment: 18 page
