On thin Timoshenko inclusions in elastic bodies with defects

摘要

The paper concerns an analysis of equilibrium problems for elastic bodies with elastic Timoshenko inclusion in the presence of defects. Defects are characterized by a positive damage parameter. This parameter is responsible for a connection between defect faces. Asymptotic properties of solutions are investigated with respect to the damage parameters as well as with respect to a rigidity parameter of the inclusions. Limit models are investigated; in particular, different equivalent problem formulations are proposed.
