چکیده
We prove a compactness and semicontinuity result that applies to minimisation problems in nonhomogeneous linear elasticity under Dirichlet boundary conditions. This generalises previous theorem we proved employed show existence of minimisers for the problem (homogeneous) Griffith energy.

Quasistatic Evolution Problems for Nonhomogeneous Elastic Plastic Materials
The paper studies the quasistatic evolution for elastoplastic materials when the yield surface depends on the position in the reference configuration. The main results are obtained when the yield surface is continuous with respect to the space variable. The case of piecewise constant dependence is also considered. The evolution is studied in the framework of the variational formulation for rate...
متن کاملQuasistatic Evolution Problems for Linearly Elastic - Perfectly Plastic Materials
The problem of quasistatic evolution in small strain associative elastoplasticity is studied in the framework of the variational theory for rate-independent processes. Existence of solutions is proved through the use of incremental variational problems in spaces of functions with bounded deformation. This provides a new approximation result for the solutions of the quasistatic evolution problem...
متن کاملOn the Three Stress Tensors for Linearly Elastic Constrained Materials
In this paper we obtain the constitutive equation for the second Piola-Kirchhoff stress tensor according to the linearized finite theory of elasticity for hyperelastic constrained materials. We show that in such a theory the three stress tensors (Cauchy stress tensor, first and second Piola-Kirchhoff stress tensor) differ by terms that are first order in the strain, while in classical linear th...
متن کاملRecovery of Discontinuities in a Nonhomogeneous Medium
The recovery of the coe cient H(x) in the one-dimensional generalized Schrodinger equation d dx2 + kH(x) = Q(x) ; where H(x) is a positive, piecewise continuous function with positive limits H as x! 1; is studied. This equation describes the wave propagation in a one-dimensional nonhomogeneous medium in which the wavespeed 1=H(x) changes abruptly at a nite number of points and a restoring forc...
متن کاملRegularity Properties of Equilibrium Configurations of Epitaxially Strained Elastic Films
We consider a variational model introduced in the physical literature to describe the epitaxial growth of an elastic film over a rigid substrate, when a lattice mismatch between the two materials is present. We establish the regularity of volume constrained local minimizers of the total energy, proving in particular the so called zero contact-angle condition between the film and the substrate.
