Abstract

We apply a quasistatic nonlinear model for nonsimple viscoelastic materials at a finite-strain setting in Kelvin’s-Voigt’s rheology to derive a viscoelastic plate model of von Kármán type. We start from time-discrete solutions to a model of three-dimensional viscoelasticity considered in Friedrich and Kružík (SIAM J Math Anal 50:4426–4456, 2018) where the viscosity stress tensor complies with the principle of time-continuous frame-indifference. Combining the derivation of nonlinear plate theory by Friesecke, James and Müller (Commun Pure Appl Math 55:1461–1506, 2002; Arch Ration Mech Anal 180:183–236, 2006), and the abstract theory of gradient flows in metric spaces by Sandier and Serfaty (Commun Pure Appl Math 57:1627–1672, 2004), we perform a dimension-reduction from three dimensions to two dimensions and identify weak solutions of viscoelastic form of von Kármán plates.
