Abstract

This paper is concerned with a minimization problem modeling the minimum displacement of an isotropic elastic membrane subject to a vertical force such as a load distribution. In addition to proving existence and uniqueness of optimal solutions, we show that these solutions are monotone and stable, in a certain sense. The main mathematical tool used in the analysis is the tangent cones from convex analysis, which helps to derive the optimality condition. Our results are compatible with physical expectations.
