The Kirchhoff-Love hypothesis expresses a kinematic constraint that is assumed to be valid for the deformations of a three-dimensional body when one of its dimensions is much smaller than the other two, as is the case for plates. This…

Love waves are antiplane elastic waves which propagate along the surface of a heterogeneous medium. Under time-harmonic regime, they are governed by a scalar equation of the Helmholtz type. We exploit the invariance of this governing…

A plate is rigid if its admissible displacement fields inducing vanishing two-dimensional strain tensors must vanish. We prove that the nonlinear model of Kirchhoff-Love for such a plate has a solution for any applied forces and boundary…
