Description:
<jats:p> In this paper, the author studies the Saint-Venant flexure problem for hollow, homogeneous, isotropic cylinders with a thin multiconnected cross section. By using the framework of the F-convergence of fimctionals, the classical theory of Jouravski is shown to be the variational limit of the flexure problem when the thickness of the wall goes to zero. </jats:p>
