An Energy Method Approach to the Problem of Elastic Strip

We analyze a thin elastic, homogeneous strip under a smooth load and several different types of boundary conditions. The strip is assumed to obey either a plane strain or a plane stress type deformation of linear theory of elasticity. We characterize the 2D solution and consider dimension reduction of arbitrary order n. Both interior and global energy estimates for the reduction error are derived.
