TY - JOUR T1 - The time-dependent von Kármán plate equation as a limit of 3d nonlinear elasticity JF - Calculus of Variations and Partial Differential Equations 41 (2011) 241-259 Y1 - 2011 A1 - Helmut Abels A1 - Maria Giovanna Mora A1 - Stefan Müller AB - The asymptotic behaviour of the solutions of three-dimensional nonlinear elastodynamics in a thin plate is studied, as the thickness $h$ of the plate tends to zero. Under appropriate scalings of the applied force and of the initial values in terms of $h$, it is shown that three-dimensional solutions of the nonlinear elastodynamic equation converge to solutions of the time-dependent von K\\\\\\\'arm\\\\\\\'an plate equation.
