Asymptotic analysis of linearly elastic flexural shells subjected to an obstacle in absence of friction

Abstract

In this paper we identify a set of two-dimensional variational inequalities that model the displacement of a linearly elastic flexural shell subjected to a confinement condition, expressing that all the points of the admissible deformed configurations remain in a given half-space. The action of friction is neglected.
