Abstract

This paper deals with classical dimensional reductions 3D-2D and 3D-1D in magnetoelastic interactions. We adopt a model described by the Landau-Lifshitz-Gilbert equation for the magnetization field coupled to an evolution equation for the displacement. We identify the limit problem both for flat and slender media by using the so-called energy method.
