Quantitative estimates of Strong Unique Continuation at the boundary for solutions to the
isotropic Kirchhoff-Love plates subject to Dirichlet conditions, and for solutions to the Gen-
eralized plane stress problem subject to Neumann conditions are presented. These results have
been applied to prove optimal stability estimates for the inverse problem of determining un-
known boundaries.

Weak Solutions for an Implicit, Degenerate Poro-elastic Plate System

We consider a recent plate model obtained as a scaled limit of the three dimensional quasi-static
Biot system of poro-elasticity. The result is a “2.5" dimensional linear system that couples
traditional Euler-Bernoulli plate dynamics to a pressure equation in three dimensions, where
diffusion acts only transversely. Motived by application, we allow the permeability function to
be time-dependent, making the problem non-autonomous and disqualifying much of the stan-
dard theory. Weak solutions are defined and the problem is framed abstractly as an implicit,
degenerate evolution problem:

[Bp]t + A(t)p = S.
Existence is obtained, and uniqueness follows under additional hypotheses on the temporal
regularity of the permeability. Time permitting, we address the inertial case with constant per-
meability by way of semigroup theory.
