Abstract

The existence of weak solutions to the quasistatic problems in the theory of perfectly elasto-plastic plates is studied in the framework of the variational theory for rate-independent processes. Approximate solutions are constructed by means of incremental variational problems in spaces of functions with bounded hessian. The constructed weak solution is shown to be absolutely continuous in time. A strong formulation of the flow rule is obtained.
