Abstract:
We study small-parameter asymptotics of eigenelements of
a boundary-value problem for the Laplace operator in a thick
cascade junction with concentrated masses. There are five
qualitatively different cases in the asymptotic behaviour
of eigenvalues and eigenfunctions as the small parameter tends to zero
(‘light’, ‘intermediate’, ‘slightly heavy’, ‘intermediate heavy’
and ‘very heavy’ concentrated masses). We study the influence
of concentrated masses on the asymptotics of eigenvibrations in the
last two cases. We construct the leading terms of asymptotic expansions
for eigenfunctions and eigenvalues and rigorously justify them
by appropriate asymptotic estimates. We also find new types
of high-frequency eigenvibrations.
Keywords:thick cascade junction, concentrated masses, homogenization, matching
of asymptotic expansions, eigenfunctions, eigenvalues, problems with a small parameter.
