We apply the dynamical approach to the study of the second order semi-linear elliptic boundary value problem in a cylindrical domain with a small parameter $\varepsilon$ at the second derivative with respect to the variable $t$ corresponding to the axis of the cylinder. We prove that, under natural assumptions on the nonlinear interaction function $f$ and the external forces $g(t)$, this problem possesses the uniform attractor $\mathcal A_\varepsilon$ and that these attractors tend as $\varepsilon \to 0$ to the attractor $\mathcal A_0$ of the limit parabolic equation. Moreover, in case where the limit attractor $\mathcal A_0$ is regular, we give the detailed description of the structure of the uniform attractor $\mathcal A_\varepsilon$, if $\varepsilon>0$ is small enough, and estimate the symmetric distance between the attractors $\mathcal A_\varepsilon$ and $\mathcal A_0$.
