Abstract:

We study an atomistic model that describes the microscopic formation of material voids inside elastically stressed solids under an additional curvature regularization at the discrete level. Using a discrete-to-continuum analysis, by means of a recent geometric rigidity result in variable domains and \Gamma-convergence tools, we rigorously derive effective linearized continuum models for elastically stressed solids with material voids in three-dimensional elasticity.
