MiS Preprint Repository
We have decided to discontinue the publication of preprints on our preprint server end of 2024. The publication culture within mathematics has changed so much due to the rise of repositories such as ArXiV (www.arxiv.org) that we are encouraging all institute members to make their preprints available there. An institute's repository in its previous form is, therefore, unnecessary. The preprints published to date will remain available here, but we will not add any new preprints here.
Damage as Gamma-limit of microfractures in linearized elasticity under the non-interpenetration constraint
Lucia ScardiaAbstract
A homogenization result is given for a material having soft inclusions arranged in a periodic structure, under the requirement that the interpenetration of matter is forbidden. According to the relation between the softness parameter and the size of the microstucture, three different limit models are deduced via Gamma-convergence.
