DNM - The mathematical design of new materials

The theory of structured deformations in the SBV setting developed by Chocki & Fonseca [1]
only takes into account the linear dependance on jumps along the approximating sequences. Following a
model from Del Piero & Owen [2] that captures the non-linear dependence on jumps, the present approach
to relaxation of non-local energies rests on two limiting processes: start from a submacroscopical level
where we have a weighted average of disarrangements within neighborhoods of fixed size r > 0 and pass to
the macrolevel, permitting disarrangements to diffuse through such a neighborhood. This limiting process
determines a structured deformation as well as the non-local dependence of the energy density of such a
structured deformation. Pass to the limit as r ! 0, to obtain purely local bulk and interfacial energy
densities for the structured deformation identified in the first step.
