For two different scenarios regarding thin elastic structures, described by 2d-F\"oppl-von K\'arm\'an plate models, we obtain energy scaling laws. Firstly, assuming the reference geometry being that of a singular excess-cone, we obtain…
We prove convergence of critical points $u^h$ of the nonlinear elastic energies $E^h$ of thin incompressible plates $\Omega^h=\Omega \times (-h/2, h/2)$, which satisfy the von K\'arm\'an scaling: $E^h(u^h)\leq Ch^4$, to critical points of…
