ABSTRACT
We study the limit behaviour of some nonlinear monotone equations, such as: $-div(A^\epsilon \varphi (B^\epsilon \nabla U^\epsilon)) = F^\epsilon$ , in a domain $\Omega^\epsilon$ which is thin in some directions (e.g. $\Omega^\epsilon$ is a plate or a thin cylinder). After rescaling to a fixed domain $\Omega$ , the above equation is transformed into: $-div^\epsilon(a^\epsilon \varphi (b^\epsilon \nabla^\epsilon u^\epsilon)) = f^\epsilon$ , with convenient operators $div^\epsilon$ and $\nabla^\epsilon$ . Assuming that $a^\epsilon$ and the inverse of $b^\epsilon$ have particular forms and satisfy suitable compensated compactness assumptions, we prove a closure result, that is we prove that the limit problem has the same form. This applies in particular to the limit behaviour of nonlinear monotone equations in laminated plates.

An optimal design problem for a plate governed by a linear, elliptic equation with bounded thickness varying only in a single prescribed direction and with unilateral isoperimetrical-type constraints is considered. Using Murat-Tartarï¿½s homogenization theory for stratified plates and...

We propose a new method for the homogenization of hysteresis models of plasticity. For the one-dimensional wave equation with an elasto-plastic stress-strain relation we derive averaged equations and perform the homogenization limit for stochastic material parameters. This generalizes results of...

We give lower bounds for the diameter of a compact Ricci soliton depending on the scalar and Ricci curvatures as well as on the range of the potential function, which do not depend on the dimension of the manifold. As an application, sufficient conditions are provided for a four-dimensional...
