Abstract:
The paper presents a generalized statement of geometrically and physically nonlinear problem of the equilibrium of sandwich plate with transversal-soft core. Generalized statement is formulated as a problem of finding a saddle point of a functional. We investigate the properties of this functional. These properties allow to prove a theorem of solvability of variational problem under consideration.
Keywords:sandwich plate, transversal-soft core, saddle point, theorem of solvability.
