Abstract:
Dimension reduction is used to derive the energy of non simple materials grade two thin films. Relaxation and $\Gamma$ convergence lead to a limit defined on a suitable space of bi-dimensional Young measures. The underlying deformation in the limit model takes into account the Cosserat theory.
