Remarks on nonlinear biharmonic evolution equation of Kirchhoff type in noncylindrical domain (Q1811965)

This paper is devoted to the existence and asymptotic behaviour for a boundary value problem for the operator \[ Lu= a(x)u''+ \Delta(b(x)\Delta u)- \widehat M\Biggl(x,t,\int_D|\nabla u(x,t)|dx\Biggr) \Delta u, \] motivated by the problem of vertical flexion of fully clamped beams in two different physical situations. The main goal of this paper is to study the properties previously mentioned above when the set \(D\) is a time-dependent nonempty bounded subset \(\Omega_t\) of \(\mathbb{R}^n\), which means that the supports of the extremes of the beam have small displacements. Note that the sets \(\Omega_t\), where \(u= u(x,t)\) is defined, change with the time, which yields a noncylindrical domain, where the authors formulate the moving boundary value problem.
