Shape Selection in the Non-Euclidean Model of Elasticity

Shape Selection in the Non-Euclidean Model of Elasticity

In this dissertation we investigate the behavior of radially symmetric non-Euclidean plates of thickness t with constant negative Gaussian curvature. We present a complete study of these plates using the Föppl-von Kármán and Kirchhoff reduced theories of elasticity. Motivated by experimental results...
