Abstract: 
 In this paper we study the behavior of elastic adherents connected
 with an adhesive. We use the $\Gamma$-convergence method to
 approximate the problem modelling the assemblage with density
 energies assumed to be quasiconvex. In particular for the adhesive
 problem, we assume periodic density energy and some growth
 conditions with respect to the spherical and deviational components
 of  the gradient. We obtain a problem depending on small parameters
 linked to the thickness and the stiffness of the adhesive.
