Abstract (EN)
We consider a thin curved film made of a martensitic material. The behavior of the film is governed by a free energy composed of a bulk energy term and an interfacial energy term. We show that the minimizers of the free energy converge to the minimizers of an energy depending on a two-dimensional deformation and one Cosserat vector field when the thickness of the curved film goes to zero using \varGamma-convergence arguments.
