Multiscale Homogenization in Kirchhoff's Nonlinear Plate Theory Laura Bufford Elisa Davoli Irene Fonseca Abstract: The interplay between multiscale homogenization and dimension reduction for nonlinear elastic thin plates is analyzed in the case in which the scaling of the energy corresponds to Kirchhoff's non- linear bending theory for plates. Different limit models are deduced depending on the relative ratio between the thickness parameter $h$ and the two homogenization scales $\epsilon$ and $\epsilon^2$. Get the paper in its entirety as |
