Non-periodic homogenization and dimensional reduction in non-linear 
elasticity in small strain regimes on the example of bending rod

Abstract: We will discuss the derivation of the rod model in the bending 
regime by simultaneous homogenization and dimensional reduction without 
periodicity assumption. We show kind of stability result for the 
equations, i.e., in the limit we always obtain quadratic energy density 
in the standard strain  for this regime. This kind of stability is not 
valid for the plate equations in the bending regime, while it is valid 
for the plate equations in more linear regime (von Karman). The approach 
requires slight variation of standard Gamma convergence techniques as 
well as the standard dimension reduction techniques based on the theorem 
on geometric rigidity.
