A Comprehensive Approach via Global Relaxation to the Variational Modelling of Hierarchical Structured Deformations

Ana Cristina Barroso, José Matias, Marco Morandotti +2

The response of many materials to applied forces and boundary constraints depends upon internal geometric changes at multiple submacroscopic levels. Hierarchical structured deforma…

SBH-ellipticity of the relaxed interfacial energy density in the context of second-order structured deformations

A. C. Barroso, J. Matias, E. Zappale

Starting from an energy comprised of both a bulk term and a surface term, set in the space of special functions of bounded hessian, , a relaxation problem in the context of se…
