Abstract

Electrostatically deflected elastic systems are increasingly used in technical applications. We study a typical situation as a free boundary problem and prove, under quite general hypotheses, the existence of a local branch of solutions. Hadamard’s variational formula is crucial in the proof, which is based on the implicit function theorem in Banach spaces.
