Description
Summary:碩士 === 國立中興大學 === 應用數學系 === 85 === We study the bifurcation scenarios of the von Karman equations with various boundary conditions via numerical continuation methods. First, we investigate the phenomenonof the mode jumping under the Robin boundary conditions.Next, we study symmetries in the von Karman equations with simply supported boundary conditions on retangular domains. By embedding this fourth orderplate problem into a space of periodic functions we obtain hidden symmetries andscaling properties in its solution manifold. These properties are exploited for efficient nuerical approximation of the solution branches at the bifurcation points.Finally, sample numerical results are reported. Our numerical results show that mode jumping on the von Karman equations with Robin boundary conditions depends on the length of the retangular plate.
