Abstract:

Linearized elastic energies are derived from rescaled non-linear energies by means of $\Gamma\mbox{-convergence}$. For Dirichlet and mixed boundary value problems in a Lipschitz domain $\Omega$, the convergence of minimizers takes place in the weak topology of $H^1(\Omega,*R*^n)$ and in the strong topology of $W^{1,q}(\Omega,*R*^n)$ for $1\leq q <2$.

Keywords: Gamma-convergence, linearized elasticity
