Asymptotic analysis for periodic perforated shells

Abstract

We consider a perforated half-cylindrical thin shell and investigate the limit behavior when the period and the thickness simultaneously go to zero. By using the decomposition of shell displacements presented in Griso [JMPA 89 (2008) 199–223] we obtain a priori estimates. With the unfolding and rescaling operator we transform the problem to a reference configuration. In the end this yields a homogenized limit problem for the shell.
