Abstract: In this paper, we address the problem of exact controllability of the wave equation in three dimensional domains which are thin in one direction. We prove the existence of exact controls and analyze their asymptotic behaviour as thickness parameter goes to zero. We characterize their limit as the solution of an exact controllability problem in two dimension.
