Asymptotic Derivation of a Linear Plate Model for Soft Ferromagnetic Materials

Abstract

The authors use the asymptotic expansion method by P. G. Ciarlet to obtain a Kirchhoff-Love-type plate model for a linear soft ferromagnetic material. They also give a mathematical justification of the obtained model by means of a strong convergence result.
