NONLINEAR THIN-WALLED BEAMS WITH A RECTANGULAR CROSS-SECTION — PART II

Source abstract

In this paper we report the second part of our results concerning the rigorous derivation of a hierarchy of one-dimensional models for thin-walled beams with a rectangular cross-section. Denoting by h and δ h ≪ h the length of the sides of the cross-section of the beam, we analyze the limit behavior of a nonlinear elastic energy which scales as [Formula: see text] when ϵ h /δ h → 0.
