Abstract
We derive the model of homogenized von K\'arm\'an shell theory, starting from three dimensional nonlinear elasticity. The original three dimensional model contains two small parameters: the oscillations of the material and the thickness of the shell . Depending on the asymptotic ratio of these two parameters, we obtain different asymptotic theories. In the case we identify two different asymptotic theories, depending on the ratio of and . In the case of convex shells we obtain a complete picture in the whole regime .
