Homogenization of Interaction Energy of Dislocation Loops
Pascal Steinke
We consider the sum of interaction energies of an array of dislocation loops placed on a homogenization lattice as the lattice spacing and diameter of the loops tend to zero. Under…

Second-Order Gamma Limit for the Cahn-Hilliard Functional with Dirichlet Boundary Conditions
Francesco Colasanto, Pascal Steinke
This paper addresses the asymptotic development of order 2 by Gamma convergence of the Cahn-Hillard functional with Dirichlet boundary conditions, where the potential has subquadra…

Linearization of quasistatic fracture evolution in brittle materials
Manuel Friedrich, Pascal Steinke, Kerrek Stinson
We prove a linearization result for quasistatic fracture evolution in nonlinear elasticity. As the stiffness of the material tends to infinity, we show that rescaled displacement f…
