Abstract
- The problem of description of quasi-static behavior is studied for a planar thermoelastic body incorporating an inhomogeneity, which geometrically is a strip with a small cross-section. This problem contains a small positive parameter δ describing the thickness of the inhomogeneity, i.e., the size of the cross-section. Relying on the variational formulation of the problem, we investigate the behavior of solutions as δ tends to zero. As the result, by the version of the method of formal asymptotic expansions, we derive a closed limit model in which the inhomogeneity is thin (of zero width). After this, using the Galerkin method and the classical techniques of derivation of energy estimates, we prove existence, uniqueness, and stability of a weak solution to this model.
