A Dimension Reduction Result in the Framework of Structured Deformations
Structured deformations provide a model to non-classical deformations of continua suitable for the description of deformations of materials whose kinematics requires analysis at both the macroscopic and microscopic levels. In this work we apply dimension reduction techniques in order to derive models for thin structures in the framework of structured deformations of continua.
