Homogenized moderately wrinkled shell theory from 3D Koiter's linear elasticity

Abstract

In this paper we derive, by two$-$scale convergence, periodically wrinked shell models starting from three dimensional linear elasticity, depending of the behaviour of the small parameter $\epsilon >0$ and $p>1$, differents theories appear. We assume that the mid-surface of the shell is given by $\displaystyle ψ(x_1,x_2)+\varepsilon^pθ\left(\frac{x_1}{\varepsilon},\frac{x_2}{\varepsilon}\right)\vect{a}_{3}(x_1,x_2)$, where $\hat{I}¸$ is $[0,1{)}^2$-periodic function and $p=2$. We also assume that the strain energy of the shell has the Koiter's model.
