Abstract

We investigate the behavior of the deformations of a thin shell, whose thickness δ tends to zero, through a decomposition technique of these deformations. The terms of the decomposition of a deformation v are estimated in terms of the L 2-norm of the distance from ∇ v to SO(3). This permits in particular to derive accurate nonlinear Korn’s inequalities for shells (or plates). Then we use this decomposition technique and estimates to give the asymptotic behavior of the Green-St Venant’s strain tensor when the “strain energy” is of order less than δ 3/2.
