Models describe mechanical constraints of slender anisotropic beams linked through a thin adhesive layer, suggesting implications for engineering design.
We derive various models of assemblies of slender anisotropic linearly elastic beams through an asymptotic analysis taking into account a triplet of small parameters associated with the slenderness of the beams but also the thinness and the stiffness of a very thin third body which connects them. Our models allow the description of the mechanical constraint of the linkage between two beams which strongly depends on the relative orders of magnitude of the previous parameters.
