We study integral functionals constrained to divergence-free vector fields in $L^p$ on a thin domain, under standard $p$-growth and coercivity assumptions, $1<p<\infty$. We prove that as the thickness of the domain goes to zero, the…

Direct numerical simulations of mechanical metamaterials are prohibitively expensive due to the separation of scales between the lattice and the macrostructural size. Hence, multiscale continuum analysis plays a pivotal role in the…
