Asymptotic analysis of a problem for dynamic thermoelastic shells

In this paper we consider a family of three-dimensional problems in thermoelasticity for linear elliptic membrane shells and study the asymptotic behaviour of the solution when the thickness tends to zero.We fully characterize with strong convergence results the limit as the unique solution of a two-dimensional problem, where the reference domain is the common middle surface of the family of three-dimensional shells. The problems are dynamic and the constitutive thermoelastic law is given by the Duhamel-Neumann relation.
