We study a mathematical model for deformation of glued elastic bodies in 2D or 3D, which is a linear elasticity system with adhesive force on the glued surface. We reveal a variational structure of the model and prove the unique existence…
Non-Euclidean plates are a subset of the class of elastic bodies having no stress-free configuration. Such bodies exhibit residual stress when relaxed from all external constraints, and may assume complicated equilibrium shapes even in the…
