We prove Korn-type inequalities for thin periodic structures of
period $\varepsilon$ and thickness $\varepsilon h(\varepsilon)$, where $h(\varepsilon)\to 0$ as
$\varepsilon\to 0$, among which there are plane grids, spatial rod and box
structures. These inequalities are important in homogenization of corresponding
elasticity problems.

Abstract
We prove Korn-type inequalities for thin periodic structures of
period $\varepsilon$ and thickness $\varepsilon h(\varepsilon)$, where $h(\varepsilon)\to 0$ as
$\varepsilon\to 0$, among which there are plane grids, spatial rod and box
structures. These inequalities are important in homogenization of corresponding
elasticity problems.
