Abstract
We consider a family of linearly viscoelastic shells with thickness \(2\varepsilon \), all having the same middle surface\(S={\varvec{\theta }}({\bar{\omega }})\subset \hbox {I}\!\hbox {R}^3\), where \(\omega \subset \hbox {I}\!\hbox {R}^2\) is a bounded and connected open set with a Lipschitz-continuous boundary \(\gamma \) and \({\varvec{\theta }}\in {\mathcal {C}}^3({\bar{\omega }};\hbox {I}\!\hbox {R}^3)\). The shells are clamped on a portion of their lateral face, whose middle line is \({\varvec{\theta }}(\gamma _0)\), where \(\gamma _0\) is a non-empty portion of \(\gamma \). The aim of this work is to show that the viscoelastic Koiter’s model is the most accurate two-dimensional approach in order to solve the displacements problem of a viscoelastic shell. Furthermore, the solution of the Koiter’s model, \({\varvec{\xi }}_K^\varepsilon =(\xi _{K,i}^\varepsilon )\), is in \(H^{1}(0,T;V_K(\omega ))\), with \(\xi ^\varepsilon _{K,i}: [0,T]\times {\bar{\omega }}\rightarrow {\mathbb {R}}\) the covariant components of the displacements field \(\xi _{K,i}^\varepsilon {{\textit{\textbf{a}}}}^i\) of the points of the middle surface S and where
with \(\partial _\nu \) denoting the outer normal derivative along \(\gamma \). Under the same assumptions as for the viscoelastic elliptic membranes problem, we show that the displacement field, \(\xi _{K,i}^\varepsilon {{\textit{\textbf{a}}}}^i\), converges to \(\xi _{i}{{\textit{\textbf{a}}}}^i\) (the solution of the two-dimensional problem for a viscoelastic elliptic membrane) in \(H^{1}(0,T;H^1(\omega ))\) for the tangential components, and in \(H^{1}(0,T;L^2(\omega ))\) for the normal component, as \(\varepsilon \rightarrow 0\). Under the same assumptions as in the viscoelastic flexural shell problem, we show that the displacement field, \(\xi _{K,i}^\varepsilon {{\textit{\textbf{a}}}}^i\), converges to \(\xi _{i}{{\textit{\textbf{a}}}}^i\) (the solution of the two-dimensional problem for a viscoelastic flexural shell) in \(H^{1}(0,T;H^1(\omega ))\) for the tangential components, and in \(H^{1}(0,T;H^2(\omega ))\) for the normal component, as \(\varepsilon \rightarrow 0\). Also, we obtain analogous results assuming the same assumptions as in the viscoelastic generalized membranes problem. Therefore, we justify the two-dimensional viscoelastic model of Koiter for all kind of viscoelastic shells.
