✦ Synopsis

The e ective behavior of second-order strain energy densities is obtained using relaxation and -convergence techniques. The Cosserat theory is recovered within a dimension reduction analysis for 3D thin domains with varying proÿles. Homogeneous and inhomogeneous 2D models with periodic proÿles are treated.
