Asymptotic analysis of an adhesive joint with mismatch strain

► We model an adhesive/adherent system under mismatch strain conditions. ► Asymptotic expansions and energy minimization give the thin film limit behavior. ► The limit behavior is described by a family of non-local imperfect interface laws. ► The laws are correlated with the mismatch strain and the film elastic properties. ► An example is given for pure homogeneous mismatch strain and isotropic film
