TY - JOUR T1 - Nonlinear thin-walled beams with a rectangular cross-section-Part I JF - Math. Models Methods Appl. Sci. 22, 1150016 (2012) Y1 - 2012 A1 - Lorenzo Freddi A1 - Maria Giovanna Mora A1 - Roberto Paroni AB - Our aim is to rigorously derive a hierarchy of one-dimensional models for thin-walled beams with rectangular cross-section, starting from three-dimensional nonlinear elasticity. The different limit models are distinguished by the different scaling of the elastic energy and of the ratio between the sides of the cross-section. In this paper we report the first part of our results. PB - World Scientific UR - http://hdl.handle.net/1963/4104 U1 - 300 U2 - Mathematics U3 - Functional Analysis and Applications ER -
