In mathematical physics we increasingly encounter PDEs models connected with vibration problems for elastic bodies and deformation processes, as it happens in the Kirchhoff-Love theory for thin plates subjected to forces and moments.

In this paper we treat several questions about non continuation for maximal solutions of polyharmonic Kirchhoff systems, governed by time dependent nonlinear dissipative and driving forces. In particular, we are interested in the strongly damped Kirchhoff-Love model, containing also an intrinsic dissipative term of Kelvin-Voigt type.

Abstract
In mathematical physics we increasingly encounter PDEs models connected with vibration problems for elastic bodies and deformation processes, as it happens in the Kirchhoff-Love theory for thin plates subjected to forces and moments. Recently, Monneanu proved the existence of a solution of the nonlinear Kirchhoff-Love plate model. In this paper we treat several questions about non continuation for maximal solutions of polyharmonic Kirchhoff systems, governed by time dependent nonlinear dissipative and driving forces. In particular, we are interested in the strongly damped Kirchhoff-Love model, containing also an intrinsic dissipative term of Kelvin-Voigt type. Global non-existence and a priori estimates for the lifespan of maximal solutions are proved. Several applications are also presented in special subcases of the source term f and the nonlinear external damping Q.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
