Abstract:
An asymptotic analysis is performed for thin anisotropic elastic
plate clamped along its lateral side and also supported at a small area
$\theta_h$ of one base with diameter of the same order as the plate
thickness $h\ll1.$ A three-dimensional boundary layer in the vicinity of the
support $\theta_h$ is involved into the asymptotic form which is justified
by means of the previously derived weighted inequality of Korn's type provides an error estimate with the bound $ch^{1/2}
\ln h
$. Ignoring this boundary layer effect reduces the precision order down to $
\ln h
^{-1/2}$. A two-dimensional variational-asymptotic model of the plate is proposed within the theory of self-adjoint extensions of differential operators. The only characteristics of the boundary layer, namely the elastic logarithmic potential matrix of size $4\times4$, is involved into the model which however keeps the precision order $h^{1/2}
\ln h
$ in certain norms. Several formulations
and applications of the model are discussed.
