Abstract:

We prove three density theorems, in the strong $BD$ topology, for the three subspaces of $SBD$ functions: $SBD$; $SBD^p_\infty$, where the absolutely continuous part of the symmetric gradient is in $L^p$, with $p>1$; $SBD^p$, whose functions are in $SBD^p_\infty$ and the jump set has finite $\mathcal{H}^{n-1}$-measure. We compare them with existing results, discussing related approximation of fracture energies.
