Thin layer approximations in mechanical structures: the Dirichlet boundary condition case (Q2317497)

In this paper the author considered the solution of a transmission problem at a thin layer interface of thickness \(\varepsilon > 0\) in a mechanical structure. He build a multi-scale expansion for that solution as \(\varepsilon \rightarrow 0\), which enables to replace the thin layer with an improved boundary condition and leads to optimal estimates for the remainders. This short note presents new results when a Dirichlet condition is imposed on the internal boundary of the thin layer and is the counterpart of [\textit{F. Caubet} et al., J. Elasticity 136, No. 1, 17--53 (2019; Zbl 1428.35573)], where the Neumann case was considered.
