Abstract

The aim of this paper is to study the asymptotic behaviour of the solutions of the linearized elasticity system, posed on thin reticulated structures involving several small parameters. We show that this behaviour depends on the relative size of the parameters. In each case, we obtain a limit system where the microstructure and macrostructure appear simultaneously. From it, we get a suitable approximation in L2 of the displacements and the linearized strain tensor.
