We consider a beam whose cross-section is a tubular neighborhood, with thickness scaling with a parameter δε, of a simple curve γ whose length scales with ε. To model a thin-walled beam we assume that δε goes to zero faster than ε, and we measure the rate of convergence by a slenderness parameter s which is the ratio between ε2 and δε. In this Part I of the work we focus on the case where the c...
