Pressure live loads and the variational derivation of linear elasticity

The rigorous derivation of linear elasticity from finite by means $\Gamma$ -convergence is a well-known result, which has been extended to different models also beyond the elastic regime. However, in these results applied forces are usually assumed be dead loads, that is, their density reference configuration independent actual deformation. In this paper we begin study variational presence live loads. We consider pure traction problem for nonlinearly body subject pressure load and compute its linearization small -convergence. allow weakly coercive energy prove strong convergence minimizers.
