Abstract
A three-dimensional problem in the theory of elasticity of a stressed solid in a domain of small thickness (diameter) is converted into a pr oblem in the theory of membranes (strings). The averaged problems obta ined enable one to describe membranes (strings) with inhomogeneities o f a size comparable with their thickness. The problems are analysed us ing the asymptotic method of averaging. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
