Abstract

We consider an equilibrium problem for a thin inclusion in a shell. The faces of the inclusion are assumed to satisfy a non-penetration condition, which is an inequality imposed on the tangential shell displacements. The properties of the solution are studied, in particular, the smoothness of the stress field in the vicinity of the inclusion. The tangential displacements are proved to belong to the space H2 near the internal points of the inclusion. The character of the contact between the inclusion faces is described in terms of a suitable non-negative measure. The stability of the solution is investigated for small perturbations to the inclusion geometry.
