Abstract:
The generalized statement for the problem of determining the stress-strain state of sandwich plates with a transversely soft filler in the presence of constraints is given. Its correctness is discussed. This statement is formulated in the form of finding a saddle point of some functional. The existence and uniqueness theorems are proved. An iterative method for solving the problem is proposed. Its convergence is investigated.
Keywords:sandwich plate, transversely soft filler, saddle point, existence theorem, uniqueness theorem, iterative method.
