Telega ´ Recommended by Jose Manoel Balthazar This paper provides a state-of-the-art review of asymptotic methods in the theory of plates and shells. Asymptotic methods of solving problems related to theory of plates and shells have been developed by many authors. The main features of our paper are: (i) it is devoted to the fundamental principles of asymptotic approaches, and (ii) it deals with both traditional approaches, and less widely used, new approaches. The authors have paid special attention to examples and discussion of results rather than to burying the ideas in formalism, notation, and technical details. Copyright © 2007 I. V. Andrianov and J.

Introduction The theory of plates and shells is applied usually for technical purposes. However, a role of today’s modern theory of plates and shells is certainly wider. In fact, in many important cases, the physical objects cannot be described by equations of 3D theory of elasticity. The examples can be biological membranes, liquid crystals, thin polymeric films, thin-walled objects made from materials with shape memory, as well as various nanostructure de- vices. Theory of plates and shells not only gives practically useful results, but outlines also a general methodology of the transition from 3D to 2D (or 1D) models. It is worth noting that development
