In this paper the spatial behaviour of the steady-state solutions for an equation of Kirchhoff type describing the motion of thin plates is investigated. Growth and decay estimates are established associating some appropriate cross-sectional line and area integral measures with the amplitude of the harmonic vibrations, provided the excited frequency is lower than a certain critical value. The method of proof is based on a second–order differential inequality leading to an alternative of Phragmèn–Lindelöf type in terms of an area measure of the amplitude in question. The critical frequency is individuated by using some Wirtinger and Knowles inequalities.

Abstract
In this paper the spatial behaviour of the steady-state solutions for an equation of Kirchhoff type describing the motion of thin plates is investigated. Growth and decay estimates are established associating some appropriate cross-sectional line and area integral measures with the amplitude of the harmonic vibrations, provided the excited frequency is lower than a certain critical value. The method of proof is based on a second–order differential inequality leading to an alternative of Phragmèn–Lindelöf type in terms of an area measure of the amplitude in question. The critical frequency is individuated by using some Wirtinger and Knowles inequalities.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
